Power awesome learning with Hāpara
A powerful platform for classroom instructional and workflow delivery.Thousands (and growing!) of curriculum-aligned, crowdsourced lessons and projects from all over the world.
That’s the power of Workspace.
Teachers need content that is purposeful, engaging, pedagogically positioned, aligned to their local standards and adaptable to the needs of every student. Next, they need a way to deliver that content to learners. Workspace allows teachers to craft better learning through the availability of diverse ideas and information, and functionalities that allow for powerful instructional design and delivery.
A bold idea to change the world
Buffalo Trail Public Schools | Alberta, Canada
Buffalo Trail Public Schools (BTPS) is an east-central Alberta rural school division covering approximately 14,250 square kilometers. 525 teachers and support staff in 28 schools serve 4,000 students.
Like any other district, the school leaders in BTPS wanted to deliver high-quality learning experiences to students while staying within budget and aligning to the necessary learning outcomes. These leaders saw that through the power of shared lessons and projects, they could source most of the curriculum they needed to cover all of their local K-12 learning outcomes.
The big idea came to the division when COVID-19 made a hybrid of home and in-school learning a necessary reality for the coming months and years. The big idea was to create a seamless curriculum driven learning program whether at home or school. So, BTPS launched a teacher-driven crowdsourcing effort to increase the number of publicly shared content. They opened up all of their teacher-created courses to the public, and encouraged district and school partners around the world to do the same. They knew they needed content, and the best way to receive was to give theirs away. Since then, thousands of crowdsourced learning Workspaces have been shared, and teachers across Alberta and around the world (more than 250,000 teachers) have access to this extensive library of lessons, projects and units aligned to their local curriculum.
In response, BTPS’s technology partner, New Zealand based Hāpara, has been indexing the Workspaces to curricular outcomes in order to make them discoverable by grade, subject and outcome with only a few clicks.
The results: reduced app fatigue, lower costs for app subscriptions and learning resources and seamless home and school learning.
Buffalo Trail Public Schools is part of a small rural community in western Canada. Like any other district, school leaders wanted to deliver high-quality learning experiences to students while staying within budget and aligning to the necessary learning outcomes. BTPS had already been using Workspace for a number of years, so when they looked around at their options they saw an opportunity with the Hāpara tools they were already using. Leaders saw that through the power of shared lessons and projects within the Workspace tool they could source most of the curriculum they needed to cover all of their local learning outcomes. So, they teamed up with Hāpara to launch a customer-driven crowdsourcing effort to increase the number of publicly shared Workspaces. They opened up all of their teacher-created Workspaces to the public, and encouraged partners around the world to do the same. They knew they needed content, and the best way to receive was to give theirs away. Since then, thousands of crowdsourced Workspaces have been shared, and every Hāpara teacher has access to this extensive library of lessons and projects aligned to their local curriculum, along with a method to deliver it in a fun and engaging way that can be personalized to meet every learner’s needs.
Workspace gives educators access to thousands of curriculum-aligned lessons and projects from all over the globe.

Educators love Workspace
“Since introducing Hāpara Workspaces to my students I can finally breathe! All of our drafts and final copies are in one safe and secure place. When we are searching for documents to add to our portfolios everyone’s labeled exactly the same! This is an amazing feature when you are trying to add 6 different writing pieces to over 100 portfolios. If you are like me and tired of the sea of paperwork, build Workspaces! Build them! The peace of mind that comes from knowing your students can work independently whether you are there or not is priceless!”
