This document specifies the RESTful Application Programming Interface (API) that can be used to access or publish the digital representation of learning standards statements. The API permits CCSS statements to be published and accessed through a Published Agent or other software application.
This specification presents the design and requirements for publishers that supports the process of making the digital representation of a standards statement available on the Internet for anyone to access and use.
This document outlines key technical requirements, solution approaches and recommendations for a free, open and faithful digital representation of the Common core State Standards (CCSS) at lower levels of granularity as determined by users. It technical discusses issues surrounding:
– creating a digital/machine readable/processible representation of the CCSS based on a well-defined information architecture
– assigning, using and managing identifiers assigned to granular statements within the CCSS
– providing metadata describing the granular statements within the CCSS.
This report provides a snapshot of the current technology requirements for select states implementing large-scale, online summative assessments (and for formative and other assessments when available). In addition, it presents a list of issues for the Race to the Top consortia and states to consider as they make decisions regarding their technology requirements for initial implementation by 2014-15 and beyond.
Finding and evaluating resources, OER or other licensed content, can be a daunting task. Some states such as Washington have created a process for evaluating OER. Other states and districts have used a rubric created by Achieve, a nonprofit organization.
