The Kentucky Learning Depot

Mission

The Kentucky Learning Depot is a single-point-of-entry repository of high-quality digital content aligned with standards and competencies for educators and learners in Kentucky.

Core values
  • To improve learning
  • To be learner-centered
  • To include reusable information resources
  • To include partners who bring resources, contributors who bring content, and participants who use the content
What is the Kentucky Learning Depot Initiative?

The Kentucky Learning Depot is a digital library and a learning community that allows educators to share engaging, quality, and standards-based digital content to improve their courses. The depot provides a single point of entry where users can browse, search, upload, download, update, rate, and reuse learning content.

The Southern Regional Education Board (SREB) is leading this effort via Sharable Content Object Repositories for Education (SCORE) so that all educators in the 16 member states can share learning content to improve teaching and learning.
