The Information Directory lays out current events, opinions, and OER investigations related to open education in four categories: blogs, books,news, and research. It was created to fulfill the need for Canadian-based information, specifically British Columbia, on open education. However, the Information Directory also includes content from other English-speaking countries with chapters for the United States, the Global North, and the Global South.This directory is considered an ongoing resource and will be updated as information comes available. A “Last update” textbox is posted at the top of each chapter to clearly indicate when information was last added.

Founded in 2008, FSFF is lovingly tended (in a personal capacity) by Catherine Grant, Professor of Digital Media and Screen Studies at Birkbeck, University of London.
