how we learn, not what we learn.

The mission of the University of Michigan is to serve the people of Michigan and the world through preeminence in creating, communicating, preserving, and applying

knowledge, art, and academic values, and in developing leaders and citizens who will

challenge the present and enrich the future.

what we do at a university should be shared.

our goal

> toward a culture of “OPEN-ness”:

:: a 21st century education landscape where educators, students, staff, and people around the world use, share, and remix open content.

:: holistic view - how we get there is important

Where does this all lead?

:: faculty & students using and creating openly licensed educational media

:: institutions supporting open access journals and textbooks

:: developers building openly licensed software tools on open source platforms

:: all parties participating in innovative teaching and learning exercises

How do we get there?
