panOpen

A platform that enables mainstream institutional adoption of Open Educational Resources as an alternative to commercial textbooks

Founded by Brian Jacobs, a seasoned and successful edtech entrepreneur, panOpen uses faculty curated open source content and combines it with the best learning technology available in one seamless, easy to use platform. Instead of students spending hundreds of dollars on textbooks, they pay a small platform fee for access to high quality and technologically-rich open source courseware and tools, providing a foundation for lower cost materials and improved learning outcomes.
