ROUND ROCK, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Dell today unveiled new services and relationships to advance the adoption of digital learning in U.S. classrooms. Dell’s Digital Content Adoption Services are designed to simplify and support educators and administrators with the integration of digital content into daily teaching practice.
BrainHoney provides an open platform that enables educators from K-12 through higher education to collaborate and develop digital content for classrooms. The company’s platform allows teachers to align content development to state standards using a simple drag and drop interface to develop “curriculum maps.” BrainHoney also generates daily reports on student progress against state standards.
Dell Digital Content Adoption Services make it easy to transition classrooms and school infrastructures to support individualized learning through:
- Professional Learning Services to support the integration of digital content and Connected Classroom technologies into daily teaching practice, including platforms like BrainHoney.
- Digital Content Infrastructure Assessments to ensure schools’ technology infrastructures can efficiently support a digital content-rich environment. These assessments include analyses of core infrastructure capacity and performance readiness and use of cost and energy-saving technologies like data center and client virtualization.
- Ubiquitous interfaces like private clouds, which enable teachers and students to access and share content in traditional and virtual classrooms.
- Identity Management and Application Delivery services to facilitate secure access to and delivery of digital content.
Today’s news follows the global launch in 2009 of Dell’s Connected Classroom and the popular Latitude 2100, the first 10.1-inch netbook designed for students. The announcement reinforces Dell’s commitment to providing the products, services, software and expertise to provide educators and their administrators with the tools they need to prepare students for future success.
Dell is a strong advocate of initiatives that help improve student achievement, including measures such as Texas House Bill 4294, which allows schools to invest in digital content, including textbooks.
