Learning Standards in IOER Learning standards can be browsed, searched, aligned to resources and rated for alignment.
- 7. Additional Standards Other learning standards and competency frameworks can be added. The system uses machine readable standards. The standards are obtained through Achievement Standards Network (ASN). • Currently, they are working on converting the new national Agriculture Standards (endorsed by FFA). • Other industry standards for K-12 and for postsecondary can be converted and included with IOER. As ASN converts standards from PDF documents to machine readable, and interoperable frameworks, they are easily added to the IOER to allow for browsing, tagging, aligning, rating, and more. 7
