Today we mark #GivingTuesday with the launch of our fall fundraising campaign: #LibreTexts Global Translation for Good. We know that the preponderance of #OER are developed by English speakers, for English speakers. We also know that the lack of #OER in other languages furthers accessibility and equity issues among learners for whom English is not their primary language.
