to=20
freely share with one another =E2=80=93 not resources that are produced

needs. Because we use open educational resources throughout our=20
curriculum, our teachers are able to specifically tailor the entire=20
curriculum to meet our students=E2=80=99 unique needs, free of copyright
or=20
licensing restraints.
Because our learning management system captures data about the=20
effectiveness of all aspects of the Open Curriculum =E2=80=93 both

materials and assessments =E2=80=93 we have know immediately if a specific

concept needs to be presented more clearly or if there=E2=80=99s a problem

with a test item. These data help us further refine the Open=20
Curriculum. The end result is a highly customized curriculum
developed=20
specifically for Utah students and constantly updated to better meet

their needs.
And our use of open educational resources also means that the entire

OHSU curriculum is available to the public for free =E2=80=93 even if you=
