The original goals of SCORE have been to improve teaching and learning and achieve cost savings through a multistate K-12 and higher education initiative to share digital learning course content among colleges, universities and schools in SREB states.
SCORE — which stands for Sharable Content Object Repositories for Education — places reviewed course content in databases (or repositories) to which all participating states have access. These modular pieces of course content — learning objects — are then easy for teachers and faculty to access and use to improve the quality of their courses.
What makes SCORE unique? Participation is limited to SREB state education agencies and schools or colleges designated by state education agencies. Each participating state provides the assurance of accuracy, completeness and quality of digital course content — learning objects — in conformance with SREB's Principles of Effective Learning Objects guidelines. SCORE is a good idea for SREB states because it:
- establishes school and college relationships to create, license and provide high-quality content.
- provides cost-effective learning resources for K-20 by sharing development costs among states and commercial companies.
- reduces duplication of effort.
- increases faculty and student productivity.
- adheres to e-learning standards.
Ten modules were created for leaders in SREB states to better understand the creation and use of digital learning content. These modules have been made available for public use.
