openHigher

openHigher is a project focused on developing open-source software and resources for higher education. Its primary goal is to create accessible and adaptable tools that can be used by universities, colleges, and individual educators to enhance teaching, learning, and administrative processes. The project aims to foster collaboration within the academic community and provide alternatives to proprietary educational technology.

The initiative encompasses a range of software development, including learning management systems, course management tools, and administrative platforms. openHigher emphasizes modular design, allowing institutions to customize and integrate solutions according to their specific needs. Furthermore, the project actively promotes the use of open educational resources (OER), encouraging the creation and sharing of free, openly licensed educational materials.

openHigher is driven by a community of developers, educators, and researchers who contribute to its ongoing development and support. By leveraging open-source principles, the project seeks to reduce costs for educational institutions, promote transparency in educational technology, and empower educators with greater control over their digital learning environments. The long-term vision is to create a more equitable and innovative landscape for higher education through shared technology and knowledge.
