Open.Michigan - Education is the Open Educational Resources (OER) component of the Open.Michigan initiative. The site has a vision of a next generation learning environment: an environment that fosters collaboration around curricula, course materials, and content; generates connections between disciplines, teachers, and learners; and inspires use of educational materials in a more personalized and effective way.

Envision an environment beyond a collection of courses. We hope to build a space where the interplay and visualization of curricular paths, learning modules, and discrete pieces of educational content expand a user’s ability to comprehend material, adapt it to their individual needs, and contribute it back to the global community.

Current efforts focus on developing a repository of course materials and identifying discrete educational content objects. Future work will analyze the connections between curricula, courses, and content to develop and display more comprehensive understandings of our learning environment.
