Andrew Marcinek was hired by the Office of Educational Technology to work on connecting K-12 and higher ed schools to openly licensed educational resources. According to officials, Marcinek will work with “tool providers and developers, district and state leaders, and educators” to connect them to open educational resources, also known as OER, which can range from podcasts to digital libraries and games. The announcement comes as President Barack Obama once again directed his focus to a key higher education issue: trying to hold colleges accountable to students with a new website.
