Open Learning Initiative

The Open Learning Initiative (OLI) is a flagship project of The Simon Initiative at Carnegie Mellon University. It provides textbook-replacement courseware built upon principles gleaned from decades of research in three CMU’s strengths: cognitive science, computer engineering and human-computer interaction.

OLI provides materials that can be used in face-to-face, online, or hybrid classes. It’s a platform for delivering high-quality materials with the ability to facilitate groundbreaking research — in technology enhanced learning, data science, learning behavior and more.
