Open education is built on the simple but transformative idea that knowledge is a public good.
We help practitioners, institutions, and organizations across the country work together to make open education the norm.
About Us
A national membership organization for people who create, use, and advocate for open educational resources and practices.
The Open Education Association is the national home for open education, a field that has been growing across the United States and around the world for more than twenty years. The association makes the public case for open education, coordinates strategic action on shared priorities, and runs programming that helps practitioners do their work more effectively, including the annual Open Education Conference.
