Overview
Open Education Global, leads a U.S. consortium of community colleges (CCCOER) in advancing open education to ensure equitable, inclusive, and meaningful learning for every student. With this grant, CCCOER and partners will pilot a program to support faculty and students at 10 California Community Colleges to explore how the affordances of OER and open pedagogy can promote anti-racist teaching and learning. Through a facilitated online course, faculty and students will co-create and evaluate anti-racist content and practices and examine how these approaches affect engagement and learning outcomes for traditionally underserved students.

Grants to this Grantee
for general operating support
Open Education Global is a nonprofit, members-based network providing advocacy and support for adoption and implementation of open education around the world. Activities, events, and services aim to provide more equitable access to knowledge for teachers and students around the world through high-quality, openly licensed educational materials. Open Education Global works with its members to build open education capacity, inform policy, and create sustainable models, as well as enable international collaboration and innovation.
for the Community College OpenCourseWare project
This request is to support the smooth transition of two influential organizations into one and to more fully promote the adaptation, use, and production of OER among community colleges in the United States. The OpenCourseWare Consortium and the Community College Consortium for Open Educational Resources both support the integration of OER into accepted teaching and learning practices in higher education. To reduce overlaps, enlarge influence, and create a cohesive program of support for institutions across the higher education landscape, these two organizations have decided to merge and leverage their strengths.
