Unlocking Knowledge for All

At the Open Learning Initiative (OLI), we believe that education should be open, inclusive, and accessible to everyone—regardless of background, geography, or income. Our mission is to democratise learning by providing free, high-quality, and research-based educational resources that empower individuals and support institutions around the world.

 

Our Vision

To create a world where anyone, anywhere can access effective learning experiences that help them grow, succeed, and contribute meaningfully to their communities.

Who We Are

The Open Learning Initiative is a global education project driven by educators, technologists, researchers, and collaborators who share a common goal: to close gaps in access to education and improve learning outcomes through openly licensed, data-informed courseware. 

Founded on principles of equity and evidence, we use the science of learning to develop online courses that are flexible, interactive, and effective—whether for independent learners or in-class instruction.

What We DO

Open Resources, Global Impact

Develop Open Courses

Our team creates and curates free online courses designed using proven learning strategies and adaptive feedback.

Support Research-Based Learning

All OLI content is built using insights from cognitive science, instructional design, and learner behaviour analytics.

Partner with Institutions Worldwide

We collaborate with universities, schools, NGOs, and educators to deliver learning resources at scale.

Enable Customisation

Instructors and institutions can adopt, adapt, and remix our content to meet specific needs—supported by easy-to-use tools.

Why Open Matters

We believe that open education breaks down barriers—not just financial, but also social, geographical, and technological. By sharing resources freely and encouraging collaboration, we accelerate innovation and promote equity in global learning ecosystems.

 

Who we serve

  • Independent Learners seeking self-paced knowledge

  • Educators looking for high-quality, adaptable content

  • Institutions aiming to expand reach and reduce cost

  • Communities needing access to reliable education at scale
