Some CTE schools like to create, host, and deliver curriculum through Abre. This is done primarily through two Abre Apps:
- The Curriculum App
- The Learn App
The Curriculum App
Abre’s Curriculum App should be viewed as an authoring tool for all curriculum in Abre. Any learning experience in Abre is created in the Curriculum App. This is different than many other educational tools.
What are Learning Experiences in Abre?
There are three types of learning experiences in Abre. The correlate to three Abre Apps.
- Abre Class: Which contains learning experiences created by a teacher and directed to students.
- Abre Learn: Courses that are self-paced and autonomous. Delivered to any Abre stakeholder.
- Abre Curriculum: Courses created instructional departments. Think pacing guides, resources, model lessons, and standards alignment.
With all three examples, you use the Curriculum App to author learning experiences.
The Learn App
Abre’s Learn App allows all users to take and participate in self-paced learning experiences. Schools use these learning experiences to:
- Educate staff and help them grow with professional development.
- Educate Work-Based Learning Partners
- Provide micro-learning experiences to students.
- Present information to families and allow them to learn about subjects that matter to them in their roles as caregivers.
Directionality
The typical use case is for schools to develop curriculum and share with aforementioned stakeholders. However, sometimes you may want a Work-Based Learning Partner creating curriculum and content to use with students. Abre has the ability to create a unique “Abre Instance” for a partner, giving them the ability to create content and sharing not just with one school, but with many.
