Welcome to the ASN Viewer!
The
Achievement Standards Network provides tools and databases that enable access to and
interaction with the authoritative collection of learning and content standards
from states and national content groups.
Organizations that provide services, applications, or portal access to digital
collections, or who conduct research involving learning standards face their
own set of challenges. Without an authoritative collection of state and
national standards and agreement on the best way to represent them in metadata,
basic research and application development can be expensive and in some cases
nearly impossible. The ASN provides the tools and services for researchers,
service providers and application builders to expose and process learning
standards information in catalog and metadata records in an open, extensible
way.
The ASN exposes both manual (web browser) and programmatic (web services)
access through platform independent, interoperable and extensible services that
support current technical standards and application profiles, including Dublin
Core, GEM, IMS, IEEE-LOM, OAI-PMH and SIF (Schools Interoperability Framework).
To use the ASN Viewer:
- Select a state/organization from the drop down
- Click the View button next to a document title to select a specific standard document1
- Click the Statements tab to view the statements included in the selected document
- Use the black down arrows to traverse a document and to expand a statement in a split screen below2
1The number of documents for a state/organization may exceed the default showing of five documents per page. Use the radio buttons and/or underlined numbers to see all the available documents.
2The number of statements may exceed the default showing of five statements per hierarchy level. Use the radio buttons and/or underlined numbers to see all available statements for a given hierarchy.
The use of ASN data is contingent upon identifying the Achievement Standards Network (ASN) as the source of the data in any manner reasonably likely: (1) to be seen by an end user of the information system in which the ASN data is used; and (2) for an end-user to associate the use of the standards data in the information system with ASN as the source of that data.
