OEC

logooecThe Open EducationConsortium(OEC) is a global community composed of hundreds of higher education institutions and educational organizations, whose objective is to expand the open education and its impact on global education. It envisions a world where everyone, everywhere, has access to the education they need to build their future. This widely expanded access provides a shared body of knowledge which allows for the construction of innovative and effective approaches to contemporary social problems.

For members, OEC offers broad expertise regarding the ongoing development of open education projects, and connects its members with an even broader network of open education resources and practitioners. In other words, the Open Education Consortium is an ideal meeting place for people wanting to understand and make contributions to the development of open education worldwide.

The members have access to:

– Support from the Consortium’s network of experts;

– Opportunities for international collaborations on numerous open education projects;

– Participation in meetings, webinars and conferences focused on open education.

 

In addition, members benefit from international recognition and exposure of their open education projects through the Consortium’s website and through shared media exposure, both of which can direct and increase traffic to the organization and its projects.
