Since 2002, The Open Learning Initiative has been generously supported by The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation. In addition to their support, many of the OLI courses and course components have been developed with the support of the following sources:
Biology/Biochemistry
Development of the biology and biochemistry courses is supported by the National Science Foundation through the Course, Curriculum and Laboratory Improvement program.
Chemistry
Development of the virtual chemistry lab is supported by the National Science Foundation through the Course, Curriculum and Laboratory Improvement program and the National Science Digital Library.
Causal and Statistical Reasoning
Development of the causality lab is supported by the James S. McDonnell Foundation and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
Logic
The logic course has been developed as part of the AProS Project and has received support from the Buhl Foundation and the National Science Foundation, as well as from the Department of Philosophy and Carnegie Mellon. Currently, the project is supported by National Science Foundation grant 0618806 (Mathematical Science Division, CCLI - Expansion Projects) and Carnegie Mellon Qatar.
Physics
The Andes physics tutor was developed at the University of Pittsburgh and the United States Naval Academy with support from the Cognitive Science Program of the Office of Naval Research.
Statistics
StatTutor is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation and the PEW Foundation.
OLI Digital Dashboard for Learning (DDL)
The Digital Dashboard for Learning (DDL) is currently under development and aims to provide the most useful feedback on student learning outcomes for instructors of introductory college courses. The DDL project is supported by The Spencer Foundation.
