 OTAN Outreach and Technical Assistance Network. So we are here today to talk about OTAN curriculum offers. So first, before we get started, I do have a link here to this. So I actually don't have slides today. I'm actually using a Canvas course for all the materials that we're going to talk about. You can, if you click on this link or open up this link in a browser, then you'll get a copy of this Canvas course. So the link, it's a bit.ly, a bit.ly link, slash, and then capital TDLS, lowercase offers. And if you're not familiar with bit.ly, after the slash, you have to type it exactly as you see it. I noticed I could value behind the euro. Yeah, they're not case-sensitive. But bit.ly actually is case-sensitive, so. It didn't, they went away. See if they're happy. OK. I'll get it, I got it. Yeah, OK, OK. OK, so again, now everyone's given it. Yeah, so this Canvas course is publicly, it's freely available and you can come back to it after today. So I put all my information in the Canvas course. But what we're going to talk about is, first, so hopefully by now you know about OTAN. But I want to talk about OTAN to something in particular about this session and OTAN. And then we'll do a quick entrance ticket and, looks fine in front of the camera. Then what I want to do today is I want to keep it very kind of informal. Like I don't have a very formal presentation schedule. I'd rather it be sort of a conversation. But I want to give you a sense about what curriculum offers we have available. Then I want to give you some time to take a look at some of them. My hope is that you will find one of them today, that you want to be interested in exploring further. When you go back to your agency, maybe try it out in your classroom, maybe share it with your colleagues at your agency. We have these freely available for the field. And so we want you to take advantage of them, right? That's the goal here. And then kind of as we go along here, you know, if you have questions about things or want to, you know, if you notice, go ahead, we'll kind of leave it for discussion in that way. And again, the Canvas course is going to be available after we leave today. So, Karen, how are we doing on the online? Hi to all the online folks, how are we doing with online? Yeah, I just did the Bentley. And I thought I reason cannot with that. We didn't come here. Oh, let me do that. OK, that's the problem. Hold on a second. Let me just go to Canvas first. Let's sit here. So you made this course public, and then you just share it. Yeah, right. So Canvas, right. So normally Canvas, yeah, normally Canvas, you know, subscription based. But if you have a Canvas account and a subscription, you can actually change your course setting to a public course. So that makes it freely available for people who don't have Canvas licenses to join your course. The only caveat to that is that it's nowhere near the full, you know, the full souped up version of Canvas that you get via a subscription. So it's very basic. So I can't do I'm not going to show you any videos like Studio, Canvas Studio videos or anything like that. We can't actually open up discussion forum for in the Canvas course. So we just keep it super, super, super simple here. So OK, OK. And so online folks welcome. I know folks are just coming into the session here. So Karen has put the link to my Canvas course in the chat. So feel free to open that up and follow along today. I don't have slides. I'm using my Canvas course today. So that's that's what we're up to here. All right. So let me go to the next slide. What OK. So just a word about OTAN. So. Well, welcome everyone. We're glad you've been with us the last couple of days. OTAN is a state leadership project for adult education in California. We're actually one of three. Process, CalPro and OTAN are the state leadership projects that support adult education. We of course focus on. Location, technology integration, everything technology. We're very excited about technology. So what we're going to talk about today is I'm going to mention like a number of vendors and maybe some products that you've heard about in other sessions during the conference. So I just want to be clear that OTAN actually we are not a vendor, right? We're not I'm not trying to sell you anything. If you get a product or don't get a product, I don't really care. So that's up to you and your agency to decide. Our goal, however, is sometimes we enter into partnerships with vendors for curriculum offers and pilot programs. So our goal is to kind of give access to the field with certain products that you might want to take advantage of it at your agency sort of long term. The goal of the pilot is to give you kind of an experience with the product, see how it works out in your classroom or in your program. And then long term, your agency would make a decision about whether to invest in the product or not. If you do so great, if you don't, that's great too. It's whatever your agency has decided. But I just want to be clear that OTAN itself, we're not a vendor. So I'm not here to sell you anything. It's merely for informational purposes, OK? And again, we're happy to have you here at the conference. And OK, so what I would like to start with is just a quick entrance ticket, a quick survey. And again, you can get to all of my I'm not doing slides. In my session, I'm using my Canvas course. So if Karen will put the link to the Canvas course in the chat and if you can navigate to the entrance ticket and go ahead and take that. So let's just talk about the survey, the entrance ticket here for a second. So if you can indicate your primary program at your agency and then what is your role at the agency, question two. And then the next five questions just fill out any products. Let me know about any products that you're using in a particular in your program. So it doesn't I know a lot of us are just one or in one program or the other. So I'm just curious to see kind of what programs are using, what are the particular products that you're using? So three questions, three through seven, just feel free to put whatever information applies to you. And then we'll take a look and see what the group results are in a second once you get a chance to finish that. So we have a nice mix between some ESL folks, some ASC folks. We have course from CDE as well. And all teachers, except for I'm going to guess Corey. All right, so let's take a look and see first in ESL. So some folks say they're using Burlington English. They're using Canvas, Cambridge, one. Not sure about that one. English and Action two. OK, so some textbooks. OK, good. All right. ABE, let's see what we've got going on here. With ABE, we have Aztec, Reading Plus, IXL, OK. Good, would be typical. Let's see with the ASC. OK, so we have Aginuity, Ed Ready Map, good. OdysseyWare, Aztec Online, IXL, Quizlet, Canvas, Sites. OK, so other sites, good. All right, CTE, CTE, not sure. OK, you can sign. All right, and then the last one, what other products? Aginuity, I would like to use more already developed ESL curriculum products at no cost to students in Canvas. OK, good. All right, good. You came to the right session. So hopefully you'll see something that kind of piques your interest. OK, good. So thank you for taking that survey. Let's move on to the next slide. OK, so on the OTAN website, we have a web page that is devoted to our curriculum offers information. So if you go to the OTAN website, show you that right here. If you go to the OTAN website, otan.us, we have this resources tab here. And under the resources tab, we have a page for our curriculum offers. OK, and so when you come to our curriculum offers page, we have it organized here. Some of these are more for teachers and some of the students. So I'll just say that this page is something that I'm hoping to kind of reorganize in the coming weeks. But today I wanted to give you kind of a different view of our curriculum offers on this page here. So back in the Canvas course, what I've tried to do is kind of organize it by program area. So you can see which products are more for ESL students or classes, which offers are more for AVE or ASC, which ones are more for CTE. And then we do have a few offers that might be for something completely different, right? In some cases, with digital literacy skills. And then we also have something devoted to blended learning. So if you want to learn more about blended learning and how to organize blended learning courses, that would be something you might want to take a look at. And then on the left hand column here, all of these links are clickable to the Canvas pages where you can get more information about these different products. So so far, any questions about kind of this chart or table, what we're looking at here or online questions? And sorry, I keep turning my back to the online folks. OK, let me go back to the home page for a second. So I want to talk about kind of how these products are organized, how we have them organized so far. So right now, we currently have two pilot programs that we're running. So one is with learning upgrade. And the other one is with more third digital literacy. So the idea with the pilot is that we give you and your agency the opportunity to participate in a pilot program where you're basically kind of test driving the product at your agency. So maybe with a few of your classes, maybe in one of your particular programs back at your agency. But it's really an opportunity for you to try out a particular product that we think might be of interest to agencies because it's in a particular program area or it deals with technology, skill building, digital literacy skill building. So these are our current pilot programs. And they will change periodically from year to year. So we try to keep the field up to date on what pilot products programs are running. Then we have a few things that are kind of ongoing. So this will be learn 360. This will be our work with the NROP project. And then this will also be the blended learning course from essential education. And you might have heard about some of these products during the conference. So but we'll talk more about this. So these are a little bit more open-ended. So you can kind of join whenever it's convenient for you. Beginning of the school year, middle of the school year, end of the school year, whatever the case may be. And then lastly, we do have a few curriculum products that we have partner organizations that we work with. And so we wanna let the field know about some of these products in particular that are available to our partners as well. These are not like in a pilot program or anything. These are just kind of freely available to those in the field. But we wanna just bring a little bit more attention. For example, like with CK12, we've actually been kind of actively working with CK12 to build an adult education space on their website. And then on that space would be freely available to kind of OER Open Educational Resource courses in the different field, in a different program area. So ESL, CPE, AV, ESC, right? Okay. All right. A good question about the CK12. Sure. Is that just like an online textbook or does that include like, you know, as, you know, something like all of that? Right. So the question is about the CK12 offering. So basically it's the online courses or the online textbooks that you can use in your course. And it's really up to you what you would like to include in the course or in the textbook. Sorry. So with CK12, what you can do is you can create an account on the CK12 website. And then basically you can download a copy of that textbook, put it into your own account and then you can customize it the way you want. You can keep it as is. You can add new content. You can take out content. You can add assessments if they're not there. So you have a lot of flexibility in that. You can add some stuff. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Good. Other questions? Online questions or any written questions? So what I'd like to do, again, kind of keeping this kind of informal today is I want to give you a chance, maybe about 10 minutes or so to take a look and see, go back to this kind of guide to the offers. And again, depending on your program area or where your interest is, take a look at some of these products in particular. Again, you can visit any of the Canvas pages by clicking on any one of these links to get some more information. Let's just go to the essential just for example. So on the pages, I've just put some basic information about what the product is. In this case, this is a blooded learning and adult education course. It's kind of a self-paced course that you can create an account sign up for. And then you can work your way through the blended learning course, but basically it's gonna give you a lot of information about how to teach your blooded learning courses, how to get started, how to organize the courses, what's gonna happen in the classroom, what's gonna happen asynchronously, what's gonna happen synchronously, things of that nature. You can, I have a link to our webpage on our website. And in this case with the blended learning course, if you're interested in this course, there is a form to complete at the bottom of the page. You just go ahead and fill that out and then you can get started with your, with the self-paced course. And then if there is some more basic information about the course, I've also included that on the page as well. And that's kind of the organization of these different campus pages. So again, I wanna give folks about 10 minutes or so just to kind of explore. I'll circulate around the room. Karen will help me if there are any online questions if you wanna ask those. But I just wanna give folks time to explore their non-learning questions. Just if they're wondering why the links are working. I just used that to bitly, bitly link. If you wanna go, they're trying to push that button. The button. Yeah, they're trying to hyperlink to the books that you were showing. Oh, okay, so on the guide. Okay. Okay. So if these links, oh, sorry. If these links on the guide are not working for some reason, just go back to the home page and then all of the products and vendors are down here towards the bottom of the page, on the homepage. Okay, so let me get, let's take 10 minutes or so just to kind of explore. I'll walk around. Karen will let me know if there are any online questions and then we'll come back and discuss further. All right. So why don't we, we'll come back together and talk about this a little bit more if people have questions. Why don't we start with, so let's start again with the two current pilots that we have, which are the learning upgrade pilot and the North Star digital literacy pilot. Do folks have questions about that? Do we have any folks in the room who are actually using either one of them? Do they want to, I don't know, talk about how they're using it at their agency? That might be helpful too, if anyone's using learning upgrade or using North Star. We had a PD a few months ago and everyone took the North Star test to see your digital skills. And it was interesting to see like where you scored and we actually had some staff that are using it. And they're getting hours to do professional development and they're just using the North Star system to review their skills and upgrade their tech skills. So it's really good, I think, for either students or staff to upgrade those types of tech skills. Okay, great. Thank you. Tom, go ahead. Hi, thanks. Yeah, it seems like learning upgrade is, it has its own LMS or it is the platform. That's what it is, which is, I'm trying to figure out what I could use and what I couldn't use. And because I have to have my stuff in Canvas, I can't use a platform that takes them out of Canvas to do the work for class. So I'm thinking, I'm wondering if, which of the items I can't use? For example, it seems like learning upgrade would not be an option for me. So, okay, so for example, let's talk about the Learn360 for a second. So we know that Learn360 is available through Canvas as a, I'm not sure as a LTI or a plug-in or whatever. Don't remember, a what? An app. An app. Okay, so a product like the Learn360, for example, would kind of seamlessly integrate with Canvas, for example. I think also maybe the CK12 would as well. So I know, yeah, that's like a big issue with these products is that they don't always talk nicely with one another. And so some of them are farther ahead with their Canvas integration or other LMS integration like Google Classroom, for example. So it really kind of depends sort of app to app product to product, how it's gonna work. But I would say kind of off the top of my head, the Learn360 and the CK12 textbooks would probably be good places to start. Great. And do you know about accessibility also? With Canvas or with the products? With the products. With the products, right. Yeah, I think that this is kind of another variable is how accessible are these products. I mean, we do, when we talk with the partners, I mean, we do, for sure, we let them know about our concerns about accessibility. And I think a lot of folks are working on it. Some are better than others. Some are farther added with accessibility requirements than others. So we do try to figure out like which one of these are gonna be, which products are gonna be better for accessibility purposes than others. Okay, thanks. Yeah, thanks. Were there other questions with either, oh, let me just talk about the North Star again, in particular. So with North Star, what we, the offer is basically, so with North Star, typically an agency pays a yearly subscription to become a North Star location. And when you become a North Star location, that enables you to offer the assessments, the proctored assessments, and then you can earn badges and certificates if you pass those proctored assessments. And North Star recently within the last few years has really worked on developing a digital literacy skills curriculum. And so you can either use that, their curriculum and their modules and such. You can use them in your computer forces, depending on, and computer classes and even your regular classes, like however you would like to integrate that skilled building into your classes. You can also offer the modules asynchronously, so the students can do online learning as well. So that's all within the parameters of being a North Star location. So the current pilot is for an agency if they're interested in becoming a North Star location. Basically OTAN will cover the annual subscription fee. So it's only, well, I shouldn't say only, sorry. It's $400, $500, depending on, well, no, it's probably $500 per agency per year. But OTAN will cover that for the year. And then the goal with the pilot is then for the agency to decide if they would like to continue as a North Star location, then they would pick up the cost of that after the end of the pilot. So that's what the current North Star pilot is right now. So we've been adding agencies since the start of 2023. And so if you're interested in learning more about that, there's a form that I've provided on the North Star page and you can go ahead and fill that out and I'll be in touch with you and we can talk more about your interest in becoming a North Star location. Okay, so other questions about the learning upgrade pilot or the North Star pilot, can we move on? No. I mean, if we're interested in using the phone. Yeah, right. Learning upgrade, their angle is that they really encourage mobile learning. So everything is learned on the phone. They have a number of different courses. So they have ESL courses, but they also have breeding courses, math courses, GED prep, digital literacy skill building. They have kind of a range of things as well. They also have some kind of like soft skill training, workforce training. They have financial literacy, a financial literacy course as well. I think they're also developing a citizenship course. So they're trying to cover sort of a wide range of adult education program areas in learning upgrades. But it's mobile learning, yeah. Okay, other questions, learning upgrade North Star or... Okay, so let's talk about kind of the next set of offers. So the Learn360 is primarily using video in the classroom. So it's easy to integrate the Learning360 videos into your LMS, whether it's Canvas or previously Moodle with OTAN, Google Classroom. You also can, it's not a robust LMS within Learn360, but you can kind of organize some of your classwork within Learn360. But the primary goal is using video in the classroom or asynchronously for homework or with a flip classroom, for example. They also, Learn360 has also been adding supplemental materials to the videos. So like worksheets or other activities that you can use in conjunction with the videos. Learn360 is primarily a K-12 product, but we've also added on the classroom video on demand, which has more of the secondary school focus or secondary student focus. So that's where you're probably gonna find more of the, like your ASC kind of videos, some CTE videos, even ESL as well. It's a little bit more older age oriented than some of the material that you might find just in the regular Learn360 platform. But again, the goal is to try to use more video in your classroom and educational activities. We talked a little bit about the NROC project. So basically, oh, Michael, yeah. I just looked it up in Canvas, it was under apps. Yes. This is a subscription as required. So one of the things that we're trying to work on between us and Learn360 folks and our Canvas folks is to see it, because we're kind of new with Canvas as well at OTAN. So we're trying to figure out a way to integrate that together. So we're kind of working on that at the moment. You should be able though, if you have to Learn360, at least you can link to the videos, you can put links to the videos in your Canvas courses. And I think bring some of those materials into your Canvas course as well. And then the videos. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, Karen said embedding the videos and the materials in the Canvas course. That's kind of a workaround. Subscriptions are free. So, right, so, right. So Learn360, so OTAN has purchased sort of a bulk set of, or a bulk subscription as a word. So anybody who works at an adult ed agency can sign up for an account. And then once you have your account, you can go ahead and explore and get the videos you need for your courses, set up the kind of LMS sort of kind of within Learn360. I think the request form is at the very bottom. Yeah, thank you. Yeah, Alejandra, yeah. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, just go down to the bottom of that page. Okay, then the NROC project, we talked a little bit about that. That's basically the secondary level mass of ASC. Primarily, although there also are, especially with the math courses, we do have, sorry, NROC has a number of basically math for the workplace courses, right? So if you're, depending on the kind of CTE programs that you're offering, you may want to take a look at some of those specialized math courses that might tie in with the math skills that you need for your particular CTE program or workforce program. Karen, yeah. There was a person in chat who asked, I started to do that, and the form asked for the principal, et cetera. I'm thinking they might need for 360. Yes, yeah, the Learn360 form, I think we just want it, we just, so, okay, so on the forms that we have, not just the Learn360 form, but we often ask for the name of the administrator because we get a lot of teachers who fill out the form. And sometimes we just need to make sure that everybody at the agency is on the same page. We love teacher initiative. I'm not gonna discount ever teacher initiative, but we just wanna make sure that everybody at the agency, before you sign up, your agency has a North Star location, just make sure that everybody is on board with this. Everybody is aware that you have now become a North Star location. We don't want anybody after the fact to be like, what are you talking about? So that's why we ask for the name of the administrator on the forms, just so we know kind of who's all there. Okay, the NROC, right, so the NROC again has the secondary level of math and English courses in particular, and then with Ed Ready you can do that customization. So with the NROC courses, probably the best thing to do would be to email us. We would need it to do a little work to get you set up with an Ed Ready account, but we're happy to do that, so. And then the other was the essential ed. We talked about that a little bit. So that's basically kind of a PD offering, professional development offering. So for those of you who are interested in blended learning, maybe after this conference you've heard a lot about blended learning, but you wanna learn more about it kind of at a foundational level. So this is really a self-paced course that kind of walks through the steps of what is blended learning? How do I get it started in my classroom? What are the things that I need? What am I gonna do in the classroom? What am I gonna do outside of the classroom? How are these things gonna integrate to create a blended experience, a hybrid experience? So that's really a self-paced offering right there. And let me pause there. Any questions about any of those products or online questions? Okay, I'm shaking your hand. Okay, so then let me talk about the last set of, oh, Karen, Karen, what time? Oh, what time? No, what time is it? It goes to two or two 10? I don't know. It goes to two 10. Oh, two 10, okay. So all right, I'll pause it here. I won't rush it. Okay. So then the last set, the CK12 USA Learn, Skills for the Nursing Assistant and the ISTI skill rights. So these are really offers that we make available through our partnership with certain adult edit agencies and other agencies that we work with. So the CK12, they are primarily a sort of K12 oriented organization, but the goal with CK12 is to create online textbooks that are customizable for your own classroom, for your own program. So we actually entered in the partnership with CK12 a few years ago to create an adult education space on the CK12 website. And so when you go to the website, you'll see that we have some online classes, some free online classes that are available in the different program areas. So we have some ESL classes, we have some ABE and ASC classes, sorry, that class is textbooks, textbooks, ESL textbooks, ABE, ASC textbooks and CTE textbooks. So really you're free to create an account on the CK12 website. And then what you can do is you can download copies of those free textbooks into your account and then you can customize them further. However, you can use them as is, you can customize them for your classes, they're open educational resources. So you're free to do with them, whatever you would like. Depending on the version that you create, you actually can add that version to the community space and CK12 so other adult educators could also get those versions of the textbooks as well. So that's really the goal is to try to create textbooks that are freely available for students. So they're not spending that extra money for textbooks and other kinds of big ticket item material. So that's CK12. Oh, one thing too, I'll just say is with CK12, so if you really get into CK12 and you develop your own textbooks, let us know at OTAN because we're working on building more textbooks for the CK12 site. But if you are creating your own textbooks, please let us know we'll work with you to get them onto the CK12 page so that they can also be available for other people too. And Tom, yes, Tom. Hi, yeah. What form do those textbooks take? Are they web pages or PDFs or what kind of files are they? Right, yeah, they're basically web-based. I think you might be able to download them into PDFs, not just positive about that, but they're basically web-based. So that way you can integrate them in your Canvas course, for example, or use them as a supplement, but that's how they're organized. And I can edit the web pages? Yeah, so what you're going to do is you're going to down, you're going to get a copy of a textbook and you bring that copy into your account. And then from there, once it's in your account, you can do with it whatever you would like. You can customize it the way you like. Thank you. Yeah, sure. And you can customize the textbook then you embed that in your Canvas. Yeah, yeah, yeah. On the CK12 site, they have some information about how you can integrate with Canvas. So I would just follow their directions on how to do that. And yeah, that's good. Do you guys do a work with Alex's lab? Alex? Do you guys do a work with McGraw-Hill? Um, no. It's a math lab. OK. It comes with all the values and some factors and textbooks and stuff. OK. Much better than that. Yeah, I'm not familiar with what's it called again? Alex's lab. A-L-E-C-S lab. Alex's lab. OK, so it's with McGraw-Hill. Yeah. Yeah, we're not currently, we don't partner with them on that site. I mean, so, but thank you for asking that because I did want to say, so we really encourage you all to let us know about products that you're, you know, using at your agency or things that you might think might be of value to the adult education field. And we're happy to take a look and see what those are. We use that customizing. It allows us to pitch modules. So we want to specifically crash them. So they're allowed. They're grabbing modules that would be useful for our boot camp. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Where do we make these recommendations? So if you want to pop this, our support, support app. So basically you can email us, give us a call, support at otn.us. And we'll start right back from there. The other one I've seen here is UC Scout. UC Scout. Yeah, it's University of California. And they have, like, they're all the A through G curriculum and some AP stuff, I guess, for those that use it. But I'm more interested in the secondary curriculum. Right. They'll give it to you for free, but they will only allow you to host it on their own campus. OK. Unlike Amrock, which will let you do the show and put it on your own campus. Right. That's why one of those things would be cool. We could have it on our own so we can control it more. Exactly. But they have maybe a little more control than somebody would like. So I just started looking into it and I thought, oh, that would be cool if we could get that there. Yeah. I will say that from our point of view, from OTAN's point of view, so we really are interested and want to encourage the use of OER, open educational resources. Right. And so versus commercial products, for example. So that's why we really like something like CK12. Yeah. Because that's OER. That's freely available. And really the goal is to be able to use it and customize it and then maybe share it back out with the field again, or you're developing your own textbooks. And then we find ways to share that with the field. So from our point of view, we really like going the OER route because it's going to be, it's really going to benefit students, ultimately, right? Because they'll be able to take advantage of these free resources. And sometimes for the benefit of the teacher, but for the benefit of the students as well. We're going to use this as free to public schools. OK. To public school students. OK. I think they do charge for private school. Yeah. And we all know in the K-12 adult ed family that sometimes our relationship with the K-12 district is a little tenuous at best. So we can't always take advantage of some of these things. But sometimes if you work in partnership with your K-12, the IT folks or the instructional technology folks or whomever over there, there might be a way to piggyback on some of the K-12. K-12 materials that are available, right? OK. The next two products, the USA Learns and the Skills for the Nursing Assistant. So actually, one of our close projects at the Sacramento County Office of Ed, where we are, where OTAN is, they have developed the USA Learns, which is for, which are ESL classes. And they also have a citizenship class as well. So these are online classes. They are now more kind of like LMSs as well. So you can sort of have these organized as online courses for ESL, different ESL levels and for citizenship. And then the Skills for Nursing Assistant is also developed by them at the county office. And so this is specifically for the Nursing Assistant students and their teachers. So this is really a series of modules that kind of walk through some of the skills that you need, kind of a lot of soft skills that are needed for the Nursing Assistant program in particular. They might be good for other kind of CTE programs as well, maybe medical assistant, dental assistant. You might consider kind of the sort of soft skills that are transferable, right, between the CTE programs. But this is also freely available. And you could use it as a supplement to the Nursing Assistant curriculum. And then the last program is the ISTI Skill Rise. So this is another digital literacy skill oriented program. But this is more digital literacy skills for the workplace. So kind of that area of digital literacy training. So the idea is actually for teachers to kind of walk through the ISTI Skill Rise curriculum. And then they would in turn kind of turn around and then do that skills training with their students for workforce development, workplace training. And ISTI is one of our partners. Actually ISTI, if you've heard about the digital literacy guidance, we also work with ISTI in developing that. And we're continuing to work with ISTI to develop some new training materials for the guidance as well. All right. So that's kind of, again, just sort of a rundown of the curriculum offers and the products that we have available when you visit that part of the website. So I don't care whether any online questions are good. Yeah. OK. Just a question for the group. I mean, we talked, you talked about learning or you talked about the NROC classes. Is anybody out there using any of these products currently? Did they want to take a minute just to talk about how they're using it in their classrooms or in their programs? Just for the benefit of the good of the group? Don't be shy. We don't need any of them. I'm excited to bring them all back. OK. We don't use anything. So yeah. Yeah. Really, I mean, if you kind of latch on to one of them and just start with that and just see how it goes and let us know about it. Online folks, anybody currently using any of the products or you want to speak to any of them? I put the CK12 app and our Canvas admin into our Canvas instance. So OK, he's there. Is that a move? OK. I'm going to try to promote it, particularly on the high school diploma side. I was hoping maybe ESL. We have a lot of stuff going right now. Not some North Star. We used some of the three things in the ESL class. Right. Unless some students take it. Particularly those with lesser skills we leave bashed on. Some of the higher suppliers are supposed to write through it. But so I played with them. Good. The students, we know that the students who earn the certificates, we know that they really love those certificates. They'll frame them. They'll put them up on their wall. They're really excited when they earn those certificates. And now they can also earn badges as well. So if they want to use that for if they go for a job or put on a resume or whatever, they can also have that as well. So Karen, yes. Question from the chat. Do we need to get USA Learns through OTAN? No. The USA Learns, you can go ahead and create your own account. I would probably do that first before you. If you want to use it in your classroom, for example, or if you want to suggest it for your students, then you might want to create your account first and just get oriented to which of the, for example, which of the ESL courses you want to offer. If you want to offer the citizenship course as well. So just get oriented to those courses first. And then with the USA Learns, they have a separate email creation and login for the students. And then once the students create their accounts, you can add those students to one of the ESL courses that you have in your account. So you basically just add them as students to that account. And then you'll have your roster. And then you can see how they're doing with the different USA Learns activities, with the course activities. Yes. Question. Cyber High Fresno is an amazing credit recovery program. Does OTAN know about this, or knows and chooses not to include? I'm not personally familiar with it. So I appreciate the recommendation. We will definitely, we can definitely take a look at it. Karen, if you want, if you can share. Who is it? You have to open up your. Oh, OK. So whoever shared the information, if you can, oh, Suzanne. OK, hi, Suzanne. So yeah, just if you can email that to, you can email me, aburickandotan.us, Karen, if you want to put that in. Just email the reference to me, Suzanne, and I can take a look at it. That'll be great. Is putting English to work kind of an OTAN curriculum? So right. So putting English to work, we actually just had a session on putting English to work in the morning there. So we've worked a long time with LAU. It's originally an LAUSD product. And we've kind of partnered with them over the years to offer the online version of putting English to work in Moodle previously. OTAN has made the transition away from Moodle at the end of last year to Canvas 100%. So we actually, you may have heard in that if you went to that session, that we've been working on developing the Canvas versions of putting English to work one, two, and three. As we kind of get our Canvas organized on the OTAN side, we're going to figure out a way to make that also freely available to the field as well. So we'll let you know when that comes out. But yes, that's our goal. If you were sharing a Canvas or anything like that. Yeah. So right now, yeah, it's so, you know, in the move from one LMS to another LMS, right? So always kind of speed bumps along the way, right? So we're trying to figure out, right? Sorry, OTAN, right now is trying to figure out the best way to share those courses with the field. So we, once we kind of crack that net, then we'll let y'all know that those are available. And then you'll be able to get copies of those PET courses into your Canvas account. And then you can start, you know, distance learning or however you're doing effectively with your agency. Yeah, thank you for that. And then Suzanne said she has five years' experience using this in the classroom. I think she's referring to PETW, but... No, Suzanne was the cyber high. No, but she wrote another comment. Oh, another comment, sorry. Okay. As soon as you were talking about PETW. Got it, okay. Yeah, we had, yeah, there's, I mean, a lot of folks have used the PET, the Pudding News to work with their distance learning students over the years. And so we want to bring those over to campus and make sure people can take advantage of that as well. Okay, so I think we're almost at 210. Any last questions in the room or online? Again, if you have any questions about... Oh, Tom, yes. Hi, I just wanted to say I'm totally interested in putting English to work. How will we get updated on when, you know, that is available through Oton in Canvas? Right, so as soon as we, like I said, as soon as we figure out where on Canvas we're going to house those and make those available, we will definitely let you know. We don't want to like, we're sort of chomping at the bid as well. Like we really, we, I think right now, Paul has shared, I think one PETW, Pudding News to work one and two are basically like ready to go. And he's working on the final touches for three as well. So, yeah, I mean, they're coming together. We just need to figure out how we're gonna, where we're gonna put them on Canvas so we can share them out, you know, yeah. And we'll let you know when that happens. Yeah, great. Okay, other questions before we, right? Okay, so again, thank you for coming. Please take advantage of these freely available curriculum offers. And if you have questions or want to get more information or if you have suggestions for other products to let us know about, you can email me, you can email Perry and we'll take a look at those and figure out how to get them out to the field. So, I think with that, I'll sign off here.
