Free, Adaptable Learning Materials Online

From the Center for Digital Education

March 7, 2008

A coalition of educators, foundations and Internet pioneers are urging governments and publishers to make publicly funded educational materials available freely over the Internet.

The Cape Town Open Education Declaration is part of a dynamic effort to make learning and teaching materials available to everyone online, regardless of income or geographic location. It encourages teachers and students around the world to join a growing movement and use the Web to share, remix and translate classroom materials to make education more accessible, effective and flexible.
