Code.org
United States of America
Launched in 2013, Code.org® is a non-profit dedicated to expanding
access to computer science, and increasing participation by women and
underrepresented students of color. Our vision is that every student in every
school should have the opportunity to learn computer science. We believe
computer science should be part of core curriculum, alongside other courses such
as biology, chemistry or algebra. Our courses are available in 45+ languages,
used in all 180+ countries. Code.org has developed an elementary school
curriculum that allows even the youngest students to explore the limitless world
of computing - at no cost for schools. The courses blend online, self-guided and
self-paced tutorials with “unplugged” activities that require no computer at
all. Each course consists of about 20 lessons that may be implemented as one
unit or over the course of a semester. Even kindergarten-aged pre-readers can
participate. Our current middle school curriculum focuses on using computer
science and programming within the context of middle school math and science -
as a tool to teach math and science concepts. In addition, the online courses in
our Code Studio platform may be used at all grade levels. Our newest
course-in-development, CS Discoveries, will be a year-long computer science
course designed for middle school students.

Languages
Europe
LangOER (2014 – 2016) is a European network focused on enhancing the
linguistic and cultural components of Open Educational Resources (OERs) and Open
Educational Practices (OEP). The LangOER network tackles important questions

languages, benefit from Open Educational Practices (OEP)? How can we shape the
OER field to better foster linguistic and cultural diversity in Europe? What
policies are most conducive for the uptake of quality OERs in less used language
communities? The LangOER network addresses these challenges and specifically
targets the needs of three main groups: educators, policy makers and
researchers.

PhET Interactive Science Simulations
United States of America
PhET provides fun, interactive, research-based simulations of physical
phenomena for free. We believe that our research-based approach- incorporating
findings from prior research and our own testing- enables students to make
connections between real-life phenomena and the underlying science, deepening
their understanding and appreciation of the physical world. To help students
visually comprehend concepts, PhET simulations animate what is invisible to the
eye through the use of graphics and intuitive controls such as click-and-drag
manipulation, sliders and radio buttons. In order to further encourage
quantitative exploration, the simulations also offer measurement instruments
including rulers, stop-watches, voltmeters and thermometers. As the user
manipulates these interactive tools, responses are immediately animated thus
effectively illustrating cause-and-effect relationships as well as multiple
linked representations (motion of the objects, graphs, number readouts, etc.) To
ensure educational effectiveness and usability, all of the simulations are
extensively tested and evaluated. These tests include student interviews in
addition to actual utilization of the simulations in a variety of settings,
including lectures, group work, homework and lab work. Our rating system
indicates what level of testing has been completed on each
simulation.
