OpenClassCollaboration

Platform in Home Base

Why is North Carolina developing Home Base?

The central focus of READY is improving every student’s learning ...

…and enabling and ensuring great teaching is how we get there.

One of the ways to enable great teaching is to put powerful tools in the hands of teachers and school leaders.

Online Collaboration and Course Management Site• OpenClass online classes are flexible spaces - a blank canvas

for delivering multi-media assignments, creating collaborative spaces and student upload and download of documents.

• We imagine teachers using OpenClass for something like this:

Upload a video recitation of the MLK’s “Letter from a Birmingham Jail” and requires students to write and upload a textual analysis of the letter, share with other students, engage in a threaded discussion or get comments and encouragement back from their teacher.

• Collaboration among students

• Course management and assignment delivery including embedding video (think: flipped classroom)

• Feedback to students

• Management, collection and organization of student work

• Differentiation for individuals and groups of students

Classes are controlled and customized by teachers
