Abstract: A system for creating and managing educational resources, and aligning those educational resources with at least one educational benchmark, includes a resource builder executing on a computing machine. The resource builder includes at least two disparate educational devices in the educational resource. The two disparate educational devices include a first educational device that has a first media format, and a second educational device that has a second media format different from the first media format. The resource builder includes in the educational resource a version of an educational device that corresponds to a selected language preference. An educational alignment engine selects at least one educational benchmark that corresponds to a student, a student cohort or a class. The educational alignment engine assigns the educational resource to the selected educational benchmark, and configures a date range of the selected educational benchmark according to a curriculum map.
