The Open Education Consortium is an NGO run by individuals, organizations and educational institutions that advocates for the use and development of open source educational tools.[1] Their work is based on empowering people through the access of high-quality education. The Open Education Consortium strive to raise awareness through networking events, community discussion, conferences, workshops and so forth. The main goal is to provide support for students and educators by advocating and the open-access of educational materials such as scholarly articles and collaborative learning communities. On their website, they provide educational tools to be used by interested faculty members, students, course administrators, policy makers and researchers. There is a portal provided by the Community College Consortium for Open Educational Resources (CCCOER) which includes a list of free and open textbooks to be used in a variety of disciplines. Most of the open access textbooks provided are suitable to be used in community college courses but are not limited to students of such institutions and have Creative Common open licenses or are listed under the GNU-Free Document license.[2] The Open Education Consortium is officially registered in the United States as a NGO for social benefit, though they operate worldwide in advocacy for globalization.[1]
