SREB - SCORE

The SREB-SCORE (Sharable Content Object Repositories for Education) initiative is designed to help state educational agencies, colleges, universities and schools work together to create and share quality digital learning course content through the use of federated state repositories or “global catalog”. The goals of SCORE - to improve the quality of digital learning course content, to improve teaching and learning, and to achieve costs savings - continue to be applied to all the goals set forth in this initiative.

The objectives of SCORE are to:

• improve student achievement;

• provide access to high quality learning resources;

• leverage available resources to control and reduce costs of digital resources;

• address the new and evolving economic development needs of the 21st century;

• respond to new and increased student demands for access and quality; and

• provide high-quality training and support.

Successful implementation to date indicates that SCORE will become a self-sustaining organization after three years of full operation. The cooperative efforts among SREB states, schools, and colleges will generate a standards-based digital content model that provides access to qualified learning resources. SCORE participants will create and implement a resource that promotes a successful user experience and provides technical and development expertise through a highly collaborative community, which governs and oversees the operation of the entity.
