Hewlett grantees announced

The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, which has been a pioneer in supporting open educational resources (OER) projects, recently announced new support for a number of initiatives, including $1 M over two years to support the OpenCourseWare Consortium. The Consortium has now grown to include around 150 institutions from around the world, and materials from more than 4,200 courses in nine different languages are available through the OCWC portal site.

Other open educational resources projects receiving funding from the Hewlett Foundation this year include the Development Gateway Foundation, projects at Utah State University’s Center for Open and Sustainable Learning, WGBH, ISKME’s OER Commons, and Yale University’s Open Educational Resources Video Lecture Project.
