open education
Barrier-free public schooling
Open education is a movement and philosophy promoting free, accessible learning resources and practices.
It encompasses open-access courses, textbooks, and materials that anyone can use, modify, and share without cost or restriction: The university's open education initiative made all course materials available online.
The approach aims to remove barriers—financial, geographic, institutional—that traditionally limit who can learn.
