Overview

The Open-Source Education Infrastructure is a global effort to build open, reliable tools that make learning accessible to people wherever they are. This project emphasizes transparency, collaboration, and practical design that educators and students can trust. By supporting the initiative, you help sustain core development, hosting, and ongoing stewardship of open resources that classrooms rely on every day.

Our aim is to reduce barriers to high quality education by providing modular, standards-driven software, clear documentation, and a governance model that invites bilingual and multilingual participation. The work is rooted in real classroom needs and the shared belief that knowledge should be freely available and easy to adapt. This page explains how contributions flow, how progress is measured, and how you can participate in a durable, community-driven effort.

In this spirit, the project name Open-Source Education Infrastructure anchors every improvement we pursue. The focus is on practical impact, not hype—clear objectives, measurable results, and accountable stewardship that people can verify over time.

Why Your Support Matters

With sustained funding, Open-Source Education Infrastructure can scale to serve diverse learning contexts while preserving the integrity of open collaboration. Your support helps ensure that the project remains independent, multilingual, and accessible to learners in under-resourced regions. It also enables us to respond to changing educational needs without compromising the openness that underpins the work.

Open-Source Education Infrastructure benefits communities by enabling schools and programs to customize platforms for local curricula, integrate open datasets, and connect with a broader network of contributors. The stability you provide safeguards ongoing maintenance, security reviews, and user-friendly documentation that educators rely on daily.

  • Expand multilingual resources and translations to reach diverse classrooms.
  • Improve platform reliability and uptime for remote schools and community centers.
  • Strengthen security and privacy practices for student data and educator workflows.
  • Support local partnerships and offline access where connectivity is limited.

How Donations Are Used

Allocations are directed toward concrete, accountable outcomes. We publish annual and quarterly reports to maintain visibility into how funds are spent and what outcomes are achieved. The core categories are designed to be measurable and auditable.

Development and core engineering covers software improvements, testing, and infrastructure planning. This work ensures that the platform remains robust, extensible, and easier for new contributors to join.

Hosting and infrastructure includes server costs, bandwidth, and content delivery enhancements so learning materials are accessible worldwide with low latency.

Security audits and privacy guarantee ongoing reviews of code and data handling practices, with clear action items and timelines for fixes.

Outreach and translation funds community engagement, translation teams, and documentation in multiple languages to widen participation and impact.

Accessibility and inclusive design ensures materials are usable by people with diverse abilities and learning styles, including compatibility with assistive technologies.
