Why This? Why Now? As inclusive access programs and other affordable course material initiatives continue to grow across the higher education landscape, open education advocates will benefit from being able to distinguish their work from other, related initiatives. When it is perceived as just another affordable learning option, the concept and impact of OER initiatives can become garbled. While open education work can connect to affordable learning initiatives beneficially, approaching them as analogous yet distinct programs is vital. This site has been created to help those supporting open and affordable course material programs better articulate the differences between these course material types and the unique benefits of each.
