Open
We are open-minded people, who know through long experience that openness in our methods, our software, and our services will lead to the best outcomes for learners and educators.
We know openness allows for the optimum exchange of ideas and information, it sparks creativity, it builds trust, and it helps people work and learn together effectively.
Education
We see education as a basic human right, and is the one thing that affects every aspect of the future of our world.
We know that everyone should have access to the the highest quality education experiences and latest technologies at any time.
Technology
We use the power of technology to solve big problems for the long term, by making sure it’s about connections and not about control.
We know quality, ethical technology comes from projects that encourage strong, open connections between the people who need it and developers who have a strong focus on purpose over profit.
The best infrastructure we can build promotes equality and sustainability because these things were baked into their design.

Launch Paper
This paper, from September 2022, presented an initial summary of the vision for a complete, global system of education technology to support quality education (for humans and AI) in every sector.
It goes into detail on the need for Open EdTech and the mission of our association.
We’d love your feedback and suggestions, anytime.
Yes, but I want to see it now!
Our working groups are still in start up mode. Come and get involved!
As we develop videos and other outputs they will appear here.
