Pearson, a US-based provider of educational content and services, has announced that institutions are choosing the EQUELLA digital repository to easily identify, manage and provide shared access to high quality course content that enhances the learning experience for students, improves outcomes and helps to support accreditation requirements.
It has been observed that with the influx of numerous types of educational content - from premium content to freely available Open Educational Resources (OER) and user generated materials - institutions are often burdened by the process of storing, tagging, retrieving, and sharing learning assets. This results in assets being lost, misplaced or underutilised. To address this challenge, institutions are partnering with Pearson and choosing the EQUELLA digital repository.
Content stored within EQUELLA - which now features the EQUELLA Content Exchange, new to version 6, offering free access to an extensive collection of OER materials - serves more than three million educators and students in North America. EQUELLA, like Pearson's Project Blue Sky, announced earlier this week, furthers Pearson's commitment to helping educators to quickly identify and choose from a wide selection of high quality OER material.
EQUELLA educational partners include Palm Beach Atlantic University, University of Utah, North Carolina Community College System and University of Ontario Institute of Technology.
