Catalysts of Open: Philanthropy’s Role in the Open Education Movement // TRAIN BRAIN

Catalysts of Open: Philanthropy’s Role in the Open Education Movement

A conversation with supporters and partners from the open education funding community about the essential role that philanthropy has played—and continues to play—in driving forward a global movement centered on access, equity, and the belief that knowledge should be a public good.
Panelists: Dr. Peter Baldwin, Dr. TJ Bliss, Dr. Catherine M. Casserly, Peter B. Kaufman
