It’s a very exciting time for us at the Open Education Consortium (OEC) as we celebrate our 10th anniversary.  Created in 2008, OEC is the gathering place for members of the open education community as a global network of educational institutions, individuals and organizations that support an approach to education based on openness. Your continued involvement will ensure that OEC continues to meet the needs of the global community for the next 10 years.

Explore our 10th anniversary roadmap and experience the history of the past decade.   Here you will find important moments, stories, and some of the more meaningful events and experiences that have shaped OEC into what it is today.
