Athabasca University is considered to be one of the leading institutions in the field of open educational resources. After the creation of the UNESCO/Commonwealth of Learning (COL), Athabasca was named chair of OER. Through the Commonwealth, they created the OER Knowledge Cloud which is a searchable database of OER resources such as articles, reports, and books.
