If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange these apples then you and I will still each have one apple. But if you have an idea and I have an idea and we exchange these ideas, then each of us will have two ideas. -- George Bernard Shaw.[1]
I have a question. Where can I find the answer?

Why should my institution join the OER Foundation?

By joining the OER Foundation, we will:

  • Provide access to international thought leadership and networking for new models of financial sustainability and growth of your institution.
  • Help you to reduce the cost (and time) associated with the design and development of teaching materials. As a non-profit, the OER Foundation invests surplus funds in course development and members have voting rights to determine content development priorities.
  • Provide free access to professional training for your staff in OER approaches using new technologies and pedagogies.

Where do I find more information about the OER Foundation?
