Open Solutions for Education. What does that really mean? To us here at OS4ED, it means the creation or reuse of freely available solutions and technologies in support of the K-12 education environment. Open technologies have not been widely adopted in K-12, primarily due to a perceived difficulty level of implementation, lack of skills, difficulty of use and general distrust of collaborative community software. OS4ED is here to finally change that by bringing to market a completely integrated stack of solutions specifically for K-12 that is open and standards compliant. Imagine a world where your key systems exchange data seamlessly and automatically. Educators should be educating, not maintaining large complex software systems. To that end, OS4ED is providing a suite of solutions to do just that and more. Mission StatementOS4ED provides world class open technology solutions to the K-12 education community that are economical, easy to use, compliant with open standards and integrated in support of effective administration, instruction and student achievement.
