“By developing this library of openly licensed

courseware and making it available to school districts

free of charge, the state and school districts will be

able to provide students with curricula and texts while

substantially reducing the expenses that districts

would otherwise incur in purchasing these materials. In

addition, this library of openly licensed courseware will

provide districts and students with a broader selection

of materials, and materials that are more up-to-date.”

“Governments and education

systems all play a critical role in

setting policies that drive education

investments, and have an interest in

ensuring that public funding in

education make a meaningful, cost-

effective contribution to socio-

economic development.”

“Given this role, these policy-making

entities are ideally positioned to

encourage or mandate recipients of

public funding to produce educational

resources under an open license.”
