The bold vision we work toward

We work toward a vision where educational resources and practices in U.S. higher education (and beyond) are open by default and equitable by design. We believe that:

Open powers sustainable content for everyone to teach and learn from

Open enables more effective and responsive educational practices

Open dismantles inequities built into legacy systems

2. Operate at the national level while remaining aware of the diverse contexts of states and regions, including how activities and messages may impact states differently.

3. Collaborate with existing organizations and communities in the open education space, seeking to complement and uplift their work where welcome, while respecting their agency and individual missions.

4. Avoid duplication of existing efforts, focusing on activities that fill gaps and catalyze opportunities that benefit the field.

5. Center equitable and inclusive practices to avoid replicating harmful structures, while acknowledging the inequities in the systems we navigate.
