Building on the foundation laid by pioneering, forward-thinking open educators, we launched our open platform in 2011 with the goal to make teaching and learning easier. And, thanks in part to an open API and open data and open content, we’ve been able to do just that. Maybe “open” is a buzzword in the education world today, but for us it’s been the very beating heart of what we do all along.
