This project will bring what we've learned working with African schools to North American schools.
Open Educational Resource (OER) Curation, Creation, and Professional Development. The current focus is leading teams in African countries (Ghana, South Africa, and Kenya) that promote literacy in elementary schools by:
1. Creating, curating, and sourcing OER content that meets the needs of elementary students aligned to standards. A special emphasis is on incorporating materials edited and adapted for and translated into the local languages in addition to the use of English language materials.
2. Implementing the OER content on open-source MoodleBox software on a portable server that does not require internet access.
3. Creating professional development courses for teachers to support their implementation of the OER curriculum. These Professional Development courses are conducted on an open-source Moodle system; the courses are openly licensed and will be shared via Moodle.Net. - Number of employees

Recent projects
Inclusive Learning Marketing Plan
The Stone Arch Bridge Initiative for Education Resource aims to create a marketing plan to promote a new service that assists teachers in translating children's books into students' first languages. This service is designed to make learning more inclusive, engaging, and culturally relevant for students whose first language is not English. The project will involve researching effective marketing strategies, identifying target audiences, and developing a comprehensive plan to reach and engage teachers. The goal is to ensure that teachers are aware of and utilize this service to enhance their classroom inclusivity and support multilingual students. Key tasks include market research, audience segmentation, strategy development, and creating promotional materials. The project will provide learners with an opportunity to apply their knowledge of marketing principles, research methods, and communication strategies in a real-world context.
Marketing Support for Training on Use of First Language Translations
The goal is to gather data on schools and school districts in North America that would benefit from this service. The students on this project will conduct surveys, interviews, and data analysis to create a comprehensive potential user database. Students will not be required to do any translating, only identify schools with significant populations of students for whom English is not their first language.
Website Upgrade for OERtist.org a project of SABIER
The main goal for the project is to upgrade the project's website to improve user experience, accessibility, and functionality. The upgraded website should also showcase the company's work in African countries and promote literacy in elementary schools. This will involve several different steps for the project team, including: - Analyzing the current website's user interface and functionality. - Developing a new website design that is user-friendly and accessible. - Incorporating OER content and professional development courses onto the website. - Testing the new website for functionality and user experience. - Implementing the upgraded website on an open source platform.
The OERtist Tool
Students will search for openly licensed elementary reading materials in Spanish or Somali. Students will create comprehension assessments using AI tools. The assessments will be openly licensed with a Creative Commons license. Students will conduct searches on the internet to appropriately align the reading materials to state and provincial standards.
