INFOhio and OER
About Open Space
Open Space is INFOhio’s premier instructional material curation and collaboration space. Open Space empowers educators to:
-
Discover lesson plans, textbooks, activities, and other learning resources.
-
Connect with fellow educators statewide in topic-focused groups.
-
Curate their favorite resources into both collaborative and personal folders.
INFOhio has also built collections, endorsements, and hubs of high-quality instructional materials to help educators quickly locate the resources they need. Additionally, users can contribute new materials by sharing links to content from around the web or creating annotated lessons and guides.
INFOhio's OER Initiatives
For nearly 20 years, INFOhio has made high-quality, age-appropriate standards-aligned digital content freely accessible to Ohio's PreK-12 students and educators. The goals of INFOhio's OER initiatives include:
-
Identifying and curating additional standards-aligned student content and educator materials
-
Improving accessibility to low- and no-cost high-quality resources
-
Encouraging the creation and sharing of additional resources
We believe this makes learning more personal for both the student and the teacher. Learn more about INFOhio's OER initiatives.
