Alchemy SmartBinder

Lesson creation tool that allows teachers to assign and track student work

Overview

Alchemy Learning, founded in 2012 in Baltimore, MD by Henry Blue and Win Smith, creates cloud-based, data-driven learning & curriculum management tools for teachers and schools. The suite of tools effectively functions as a content management system for creating and administering flipped courses.

Among these tools, is the SmartBinder which allow teachers to build courses from content across the web, tag units and lessons with any number of standards (Common Core or otherwise), and deploy to students who receive separate logins to access content.

Adding intra-school/department collaboration to the mix, SmartBinder Teams allow educators to create adhoc peer-to-peer networks in which they can collaboratively develop curriculum, share lesson artifacts, and exchange teaching strategies.
