The Open Learning Initiative is featured in the August 3rd article "Obama's Great Course Giveaway" in The Chronicle of Higher Education. The article presents the benefit of OLI from the perspective of an instructor and a student at Cal Poly who are using the OLI Modern Biology course to enhance their teaching and learning experience. The article includes statements from many in the Open Education Resource movement including Mike Smith, Senior Counselor to Secretary of Education and Candace Thille, OLI Director. From the article :
"Even though we've provided access, we haven't provided access to the same kind of education, because we
didn't really have the tools and technology to scale," Ms. [Candace] Thille says. "And I think what the information
technology now, finally, is affording us the opportunity to do, is to really provide that kind of personalized
instruction—high-quality rigorous instruction—to everybody."
