Creation and Production

• ISKME

OER Commons is created and produced by the Institute for the Study of Knowledge Management in Education (ISKME). ISKME is an independent, non-profit educational think tank whose mission is to understand and improve how schools, colleges, and universities, and the organizations and agencies that support them, build their capacity to systematically collect and share information, apply it to well-defined problems, and create knowledge-driven environments focused on learning and success—whether through the use of assessment data to improve classroom instruction; the use of professional development to catalyze change; the use of evaluative findings to improve programs and policy; the use of research to engage practice; or the use of open education content to advance learning opportunities for all learners.

Support

• William and Flora Hewlett Foundation

The creation of OER Commons would not be possible without the leadership and generous support of the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation for this project and for the availability of OER generally. The Hewlett Foundation has been making grants since 2001 to improve access to exemplary postsecondary and K-12 educational content by making high-quality Open Educational Resources freely available online. The Foundation concentrates its resources on activities in education, the environment, global development, performing arts, philanthropy and population, and makes grants to support disadvantaged communities in the San Francisco Bay Area. A full list of the Hewlett Foundation’s grants can be found on its web site.
