IDEAL Learning Library

10,000+ Digital Lessons, Assessments & Learning Objects

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.

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.

The IDEAL (Individualized Digital Education - Assessed Lessons) Learning Library is a collection of more than 10,000 digital learning objects. Each learning object focuses on a small set of objectives and includes instruction, practice, and assessment. The IDEAL Learning Library offers an unprecedented level of individualization and customization—all delivered in a powerful digital format.

Individualized Learning Plans

With the IDEAL Learning Library, teachers can create individualized learning plans to address each student's specific needs. Detailed assessment reports help teachers determine each student's mastery of the objectives in his or her learning plan, leading to more efficient, effective use of student and teacher time.
