Open EducationTeaching: Open Pedagogy is how we connect students to the public and empower them to shape their future world. Scholarship: Open Access (OA) is how we allow the academy’s research to work for the public good, and how we help the public to engage with and influence our contributions.Service: Open Educational Resources (OER) are one of the ways we relieve the financial burden on the most vulnerable members of the educational system—students—and are part of a larger commitment to making public education work for the public.
