Connect with others involved in Connexions
In Connexions, over 900 authors are developing, publishing, and sharing educational content which is used by
around 1 million people in over 200 countries every month. Connexions promotes communication among the
educational community by various means of collaboration, which helps knowledge to grow more quickly.
Connect with others involved in the Open Courseware Consortium
There are more than 250 Open Courseware initiatives underway at universities around the world involved in
free and open digital publication of high quality teaching materials, made available under open licenses, for use
and adaptation by educators and learners around the world.
Connect with others involved in Open Educational Resources
At the heart of the movement toward Open Educational Resources is the simple and powerful idea that the
world’s knowledge is a public good and that technology in general and the Worldwide Web in particular provide
an extraordinary opportunity for everyone to share, use, and reuse knowledge. OER are the parts of that
knowledge that comprise the fundamental components of education — content and tools for teaching, learning
and research.
