Building an Infrastructure for Open Education
The open education movement has propelled open educational resources to the forefront of conversations on improving access and success in higher education. Technological advancements have expanded educational opportunities by allowing students to access information instantly, communicate globally and share learning materials at little to no cost. However, the traditional market for educational materials and legacy textbook publishing models impose significant barriers, including high costs and content restrictions. Open education aims to employ technology to make learning more accessible, affordable and effective.
