Building Communities

OE Global believes that strong communities are essential to ensure that Open Education not only grows but thrives. It provides global and regional support by creating forums for specific contexts.

The adoption and growth of open education around the world is OE Global’s primary mission. There are many ways to build communities.

Global Community

On a global level, OEG Connect provides a safe space to discuss, ask and share ideas and experiences. OEG Voices have been developed to inspire the global community by learning from those who are working deep within it.

Regional Communities

While there is much in common about open education globally there are also regional differences. Language, culture, education systems, and priorities differ. The forms of open education and the ways it is implemented vary. Initial adoptions are often very local and as use matures synergies and opportunities for collaboration and partnership often start out within a specific region broadening to include others gradually.

In recognition of this, OE Global operates regional nodes that provide a local forum for supporting open education in a specific region. Currently OE Global has two regional nodes.

To find out more and participate in these regional nodes visit:

LATAM Regional Node

The LATAM Regional node is an OE Global regional node focused on supporting open education across Latin America. Additional regional nodes are planned and built out in response to and in consultation with members in different regions of the world.

The Community College Consortium for Open Educational Resources (CCCOER)

The Community College Consortium for Open Educational Resources (CCCOER) is an OE Global regional node primarily focused on supporting open education adoption and use by community colleges across the USA.
