Hi everyone, We extend our congratulations to Washington State and the Course Library project for a landmark international achievement!

We now have the opportunity to increase the return on investment by an order of magnitude by extending free learning opportunities using these course materials with pathways for formal accreditation from our anchor partners worldwide. OER is a renewable and sustainable resource. A BIG round of applause for our open education friends in Washington State.
