"This is EXACTLY what I need for the planned administrator training in my area this summer."
Major K12 curriculum publisher
What started out as a series of conversations about emerging technologies, quickly evolved into a discussion about how to incorporate digital publishing workflow and Web 2.0 tools into future editions of their curriculum. Recognizing that something more than a static PDF is the goal, the curriculum publisher turned to us for architecting what a digital solution could look like. We envisioned a solution that makes their curriculum and supporting materials accessible and engaging for multiple purposes, while making it easy enough for teachers to integrate it into their instructional practices every day.

Centro Latino Literacy
Three years ago, Centro Latino Literacy built an online version of their popular classroom curriculum that teaches adult Spanish speakers basic literacy and vital skills to achieve their goals and create a healthier society. While the online version was sufficient in most regards, several improvements and refinements became necessary. Centro Latino chose Clarity Innovations to remodel their online course because of our understanding of online learning theory and familiarity with the Moodle platform for custom elearning solutions like theirs.

Cramster
To serve as a bridge between and within their services, our client desired to incorporate an instructional taxonomy of common topics, concepts, and methods used in the subject areas of mathematics, science, language arts, history, engineering, social sciences, and business taught in grades 11 - 14. Our background in curriculum development, instructional methods and texts, and specifically, the content areas to be addressed, made Clarity the best choice.
We built a complete taxonomy of over 3,000 possible terms from which a subset of terms was chosen. We then assigned content areas to subject matter experts on our team to write definitions and created supporting illustrations where necessary.

Organization for Educational Technology and Curriculum (OETC)
The Web site to support OETC's professional development activities, though functional, was difficult to use for publishing and sharing materials or facilitating online collaboration among its users. Having pioneered several features for the first time in Drupal 5, the OETC was ready to build the next generation of its professional development Web site. OETC commissioned Clarity Innovations to incorporate the best practices from the first generation Web site and engineer a replacement focused on improved usability. The OETC Professional Learning Communities launches in the summer of 2010 after a three month beta test period this spring.
