"Through our initial conversations about this agenda with practitioners and researchers," writes Angela DeBarger, "it has become clear that the new strategy had not gone far enough to demonstrate how open education could be an asset for equity and social justice." There are two aspects to this. One is to ensure that the open educational resources (OER) being developed are broadly inclusive, using for example gender spectrum stock photos (archive) or traditional knowledge (TK) lables where applicable. The other is the development application of OER by and for people in specific contexts. Toward this end, Hewlett will "we will create opportunities for educators to challenge inequities that are barriers to inclusive practices and participation," writes DeBarger.
