our goal

toward a culture of “OPEN-ness”:

• a 21st century education landscape where educators, students, staff, and people around the world use, share, and remix open content.

• holistic view - how we get there is important

Where does this all lead?

• faculty & students using and creating openly licensed educational media

• institutions supporting open access journals and textbooks

• developers building openly licensed software tools on open source platforms

• all parties participating in innovative teaching and learning exercises

How do we get there?
