This is a ground-breaking initiative and is particularly important for its ambitious scope.<\/p>\n<p>[Note: Some of my OER time this year, with support from the Hewlett Foundation, is being spent on thinking through implementation and business model strategies for core OER curriculum in the K-12 space with the K-12 OER Collaborative being a prime example.
