Digital Curriculum

The use of digital curriculum is increasing rapidly in K-12 schools—both within traditional classrooms and through the addition of virtual school programs. Less expensive technology devices such as iPads and Android tablets allow more and more schools to offer highly interactive digital content. Because of the wider availability of digital devices, many schools are seeking alternatives to the traditional method of content delivery provided by textbooks.

Emphasis on Digital Delivery

The new emphasis on digital delivery of instruction has created an even greater need for customizable courses and for tools that facilitate blended learning—the combination of face-to-face learning experiences with access to digital content and instruction. Learning objects (individual instructional units that can be used separately or together) seem to provide the best solution for schools that want control over how curriculum is constructed and blended.
