Theory of Change

Our vision

An equitable world in which all learners develop agency, create positive transformation and flourish.

What we address

• Lack of easy-to-find, useful, and affordable teaching and learning materials.
• Limited support for educators to enable student-centered learning.
• Large class sizes with few pathways for supporting diverse learner needs.
• Legacies of oppressive structures in education that perpetuate inequities in learning.
• Barriers to community ownership in the design and integration of edtech into learning spaces.
• Barriers to affordable technology infrastructure and reliable Internet access, preventing engagement with digital learning tools and resources.

What we do

• Create offline-first, needs-driven edtech
  Build easily adaptable digital platforms and tools that provide access to curriculum-aligned, easy-to-find materials, support student-centered learning, and address the needs of low-resource communities through iterative feedback loops.
• Facilitate organic, scalable use of edtech
  Design for both community-driven and systemic adoption of free and open edtech tools, supported by open content, guidance materials, and spaces for sharing knowledge.
• Foster student-centered, equitable learning
  Strengthen organizational capacity to support educators in implementing blended learning.
• Work for systems change
  Advocate for the creation and use of open curricula, datasets, tools, and blended learning practices that support the inclusion of historically and systemically marginalized communities.
• Build learning communities
  Convene and collaborate in communities and coalitions to share experiences around the use of education technology, open resources, and student-centered learning.

Our Outcomes

• Communities initiate edtech interventions using strategies and practices that meet the needs of their context.
• Organizations and schools implement a wide range of edtech practices and incorporate student-centered learning initiatives, leveraging open content and tools.
• Educators create learning environments that are anti-oppressive, student-centered, and that value and incorporate the narratives of the learners and communities they serve.
• Broad creation and adoption of interoperable open-source tools and open digital learning resources in mother tongue languages, supported by policies and investments in open educational practices.
• Learners have expanded opportunities to engage with edtech in a way that promotes critical thinking and problem-solving, and supports their learning goals.
