Transforming education through open
Rebus Community is the open education and professional development arm of The Rebus Foundation, a global non-profit and Canadian registered charity working to make knowledge freely available in the pursuit of equity, understanding, and the common good. With our work, Rebus Community seeks to build a movement of leaders leveraging OER to transform higher education. Rebus’ focus on collaboration and equity within the higher education community is in service of developing an inclusive field that is responsive to diverse educators and learners.
As an organization, we have always been dedicated to building a new, collaborative model for open resource creation in partnership with the OER community. Infused in this model are our core values around collaboration, community, equity, care, and respect. By keeping these core values in mind throughout all our approaches, Rebus strives to promote a supportive culture and education system that centers student experience and learning. We believe this focus is critical to creating & implementing valuable resources, and can have impacts beyond a single resource, individual, classroom, or institution. We hope you will join us in building this future!
