About #GoOpen

The #GoOpen National Network is a national community of educators and leaders who use and support open educational resources and practices (OER/OEP) to equitably improve teaching and learning for all.

The overall goals of the network are:

• To increase the number of policies, strategies, or programs in place across states and districts that enable OER (incl. funding, open licensing commitment, quality assurance mechanisms, and OER capacity building/training);

• To increase the number of educators trained in open education (e.g. in districts across the U.S.); and,

• To increase the uptake and use of OER by educators in schools and districts to improve teaching and learning for all.

We foster collaboration toward building a vibrant and sustainable community. We aim to build capacity and elevate OER through collaboration, knowledge sharing, and strategic action by:

• Highlighting case studies of OER implementation across states and districts nationwide

• Convening working and interest groups around key topics

• Gathering evidence and advocating for the benefits of open education
