Schools signalled:
A lack of Open Educational Resources available
High costs for other digital material
That’s why VO-content was set up by schools in 2011. Currently 25% of schools are participating. We are cooperation based and we work as a not for profit organisation.
We have created open content for 10 subjects. Currently 83 different learning modules are available: we call them ‘Stercollecties’. 63 different modules on different levels and different topics. Together, these modules cover students from age 12 to age 18.

These are the trends
This video illustrates why open educational resources are important. This is one of four trends we see in the educational field:
And last but not least, the use of Learning Analytics (insert: What is Learning Analytics)
Enhances personalised learning
More information about results and student levels available for schools: connection to LMS and CMS systems
Improves content
Allows:
Quality assurance: what content works and what doesn’t?
Co-creation: let users create new materials
Enhancement of material by users:
Trends education is changing
Secondly, a growing use of mobile devices in schools.
Thirdly, the use of cloud computing
Charge of €7,- per student per year for members
This charge allows us to create new content and improve our existing content. We also improve the accessability of our content by using partners. They integrate our content into their systems to allow easy access for users.
Schools, teachers and students do not have to be a member to use our content. They are a member because they support the goals of VO-content and want us to be able to create more content. However, there are a number of features that can only be used by members.
VO-content aims to support schools
Firstly by digitalising material (educational resources)
Secondly by professionalising teachers and their schoolmanagers
And thirdly by supporting and enhancing personalised learning
