In 2008, ISKME conducted a study to examine the feasibility of and design for an initiative that engages teachers, learners, and practitioners in the collaborative process of developing, using, and improving freely available Open Educational Resources (OER) in the arts and in social justice. That work revealed an opportunity to increase greater creative, equitable participation in teaching and learning the arts in K-12 classrooms.

Our efforts in the field of OER have identified skills and behaviors that deepen engagement with curricular resources, media, and tools, through sharing with peers and communities.
