 We have a very simple, very earnest idea. Education should be free. The Sailor Foundation is a 501C3 non-profit organization established by our sole trustee Michael J. Sailor, founder and CEO of business intelligence firm MicroStrategy. In 2012, information has become ubiquitous. It's distribution fast, easy, and virtually free. At the same time, despite such barriers as geography and wealth, demand for education has risen. Since 2009, the Sailor Foundation has worked to make high-quality education available for free to anyone with an internet connection. Our aim is global. Our students are in Iran and Pakistan, in the UK and South Africa, in the United States and Japan, and many more places in between. Through Sailor.org, we provide over 200 self-paced, college-level courses in 12 areas of study and a general education program. There is no application, no registration for courses, no cost to enroll, and no fees for materials, just free education. To get started, the student can decide on an area of study, open a course of his or her choice, and begin working through resources, readings, lectures, and assignments. At the end of each course, we have a final exam. Our site is friendly to those with limited internet connectivity or using mobile devices, and most of our materials can be downloaded for individual offline use. We're working hard through active production of original material and our open textbook challenge to make it possible for our students to access their learning in the most convenient possible way. Leading with our extensive permissions outreach, we've brought thousands of pages of material from dozens of professors, authors, and institutions into the open and available for everyone. Whenever possible, we use a Creative Commons Attribution License so our course outlines original content and thousands of openly licensed resources can be freely distributed and adapted with just an acknowledgement of the source. So what's the catch? If we're not a college or university, we do not confer degrees. However, we do hire experienced credentialed professors to build courses, develop resources, and design rigorous exams. The professor's work is subjected to our formal peer review process, while the students' exams are administered and auto graded using a custom version of Moodle's open source software. And we provide our students with a free certificate for each past course, as well as the opportunity to share their achievements with peers, schools, and employers using our forthcoming ePortfolio. With this tool, students can plan their learning and track their progress. They can ask questions, share work, and solicit feedback from peers. If they choose, they can also post a resume and allow others to authenticate their earned course certificates and badges. The ePortfolio account is both free and optional for students, but privacy is always under their control and the data is theirs to keep and take with them. While optimistic about the ability to share educational resources across the globe, we realize the barriers remain. The number of open educational resources is increasing, but so is the need. Bandwidth and restrictive licensing are obstacles to access for many, but the Sailor Foundation is committed to improving upon and expanding our offerings in order to make free education a reality for anyone, anywhere, anytime.
