Learning Equality

Learning Equality envisions an equitable world where all learners develop their own agency, create positive transformation, and flourish. By utilizing a combination of low-cost, low-power equipment and student-centered, equitable OER, the organization increases access to educational content for communities that have limited-bandwidth, expensive, or unreliable internet connections. Learning Equality designs for both community-driven and systemic adoption of free and open edtech tools, supported by open content, guidance materials, and spaces for sharing knowledge.

The Foundation for Learning Equality (FLE) is dedicated to developing software tools for the sharing and creation of openly-licensed educational content for use by anyone around the world. By utilizing a combination of low-cost, low-power equipment and Khan Academy videos, FLE aims to increase access to OER for communities that have limited-bandwidth, expensive, or unreliable Internet connections. This general operating support grant would help to strengthen the core of the organization and enable FLE to achieve its longer-term goals of building tools that allow teachers to adapt and author their own content which will promote greater linguistic and cultural diversity of OER content.
