History

ISKME was established in 2002 by Lisa Petrides, formerly a professor in

Monterey Institute of Technology, Connexions, Teachers Domain, Free High School Science Texts, Siyavula in South Africa and Training Commons in India.[3]
In 2005, ISKME engaged in research partnerships with schools of education and training programs for school principals, including work with the San Francisco School Alliance and the University of California's Principal Leadership Institute.[citation needed] In 2007, ISKME launched OER Commons, a digital repository of open teaching and learning resources.[4] That same year, Petrides was one of 27 open education leaders invited to an international gathering in Cape Town, South Africa, which produced the 2007 Cape Town Open Education Declaration.[5] This declaration laid the groundwork for other international open educational resources policy agreements, including the Recommendation on Open Educational Resources adopted, with the support of ISKME, by UNESCO's General Conference at its 40th session in 2019.[6] In 2009, ISKME hosted its inaugural Big Ideas Fest, held in Half Moon Bay, California.[7] In 2014, OER Commons was rebranded as a curated, public digital library, and ISKME developed one of its first microsites[8] when it began managing the National Science Digital Library.[9] ISKME also developed hubs, customizable, branded resource centers on OER Commons.[10] ISKME currently supports states, nations,[11] and other entities through a range of open education services.

ISKME's partnerships include supporting Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Undersecretary of Education Martha Kanter in launching the 2013 Open Book Project in the Middle East.[12] ISKME also established OER partnerships in K-12 and higher education with OpenStax,[13] NAACP,[14] the Arab League Educational, Cultural and Scientific Organization (ALECSO),[15] UNESCO on their ICT Competency Framework for Teachers,[16] and the American Association of Colleges and Universities (AAC&U).[17] In 2018, ISKME was selected to partner with the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Educational Technology (OET) on its #GoOpen initiative.[18] OET has since sunsetted its federal leadership of the #GoOpen initiative and passed the baton to ISKME to foster ongoing national engagement in K-12 open education.[19]

San Francisco public television station KQED and Roadtrip Nation have been co-sponsors of the Big Ideas Fest.

Awards

ISKME was named an Education Laureate by the

World Innovation Summit for Education (WISE) Awards for its OER Commons teacher professional development programs.[21]

In 2011, ISKME won the Award for Bodies which Influence Policy from the Open Educational Quality Initiative (OPAL),[22] a consortium that includes UNESCO, the International Council for Open and Distance Education, the European Foundation for Quality in e-Learning, and several European universities. In 2011 ISKME announced a matching grant from the

Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to support the Big Ideas in Beta program, focused on incubating innovation in education.[23]

In 2017, the American Association of School Librarians recognized ISKME's OER Commons as one of the nation's best websites for teaching and learning.[24]
