Open Educational Resources: Breaking the Lockbox on Education

Abstract

The Hewlett Foundation’s Education Program recently revisited its Open Educational Resources (OER) strategy in an effort to better understand how its philanthropic investments—within the context of the larger funding landscape—can help integrate OER into mainstream education. Hewlett Foundation had dozens of experts interviewed and commissioned new research and analysis. The result is this white paper, which presents a roadmap for transforming teaching and learning by shifting OER from a small-scale movement to standard education practice.
