Open Education Consortium<\/h2>\n

The Open Education Consortium is a worldwide community of hundreds of higher education institutions and associated organizations committed to advancing open education and its impact on global education. \u00a0We envision a world where everyone, everywhere has access to the education they need to build their futures.<\/p>\n

We seek to instill openness as a feature of education around the world, allowing greatly expanded access to education while providing a shared body of knowledge upon which innovative and effective approaches to today\u2019s social problems can be built. The Open Education Consortium realizes change by leveraging its sources of expert opinion, its global network and its position as the principal voice of open education.<\/p>\n
