Mission
The University of Hawai'i-West O'ahu aims to embrace the open education movement in an effort to advance dynamic, integrated learning experiences while removing costly barriers to education. By building awareness of Open Educational Resources and Open Pedagogy, UH-West O'ahu hopes to increase adoption and adaptation of openly-licensed materials. By empowering faculty to customize course content, students will ultimately benefit: first financially, but most importantly, because they'll be using course materials that were created specifically for them.
