[edit] Who We Are

ccLearn is a division of Creative Commons dedicated to support open learning and open educational resources. Our mission is to minimize barriers to the creation, sharing, and reuse of educational materials—legal barriers, technical barriers, and social barriers.

[edit] Why We Exist

Educational paradigms are changing. The Internet has profoundly altered the ways in which information is accessed and shared. One of the most exciting new trends is the growth of open educational resources (OER): free, authoritative educational resources that can be easily accessed, shared, and modified by anyone at any time. The availability of open educational content is growing exponentially, but its use does not appear to be widespread. Worse, much of the OER currently being created is incompatible — legally and technically — with other OER.

[edit] Our Goals

Minimize legal, technical, and social barriers to the creation and reuse of OER. Bring new communities and groups into the world of open learning. Change the culture of education so that teachers have greater control over their pedagogy, greater freedom to experiment, and a larger community for support. Empower participation and expertise in education from around the world.
