there are plenty of non-profits in the edtech space if you're really looking for "free and open access". Gooru (http://www.goorulearning.org/#discover http://www.goorulearning.org/#discover) is a Google spinoff backed by the Gates Foundation and others, for instance.
- japhyr 13y agoIt's not so much that I'm looking for nonprofits myself. I challenge the notion that anyone is really doing anything to improve public education if they are just another private company, with a profit motive, having access to student data. I have rarely seen companies continue to serve students well when there is a profit motive involved. People should get paid well for their work, I have no issue with that. But I am wary of where the profit motive leads ed tech initiatives.
