Advantages of the SOCR IT-Enhanced Blended Instruction Resources
The SOCR technology-enhanced blended instruction model to K-12 science-education has the following advantages:
- Multi-lingual support: All materials are auto-translated into 24 different languages;
- CCSS support: The SOCR learning materials, tools and activities are community-built and cover most of the mathematics and statistics components of the CCSS standard;
- Open-access: All SOCR resources are always freely and openly accessible to all (students, teachers and the community) and can be customized for specific curricular needs (e.g., K12HSN Calaxy network);
- Blended Instructional Model: the SOCR learning resources blend information technology, open-datasets, scientific techniques and modern pedagogical concepts.
