OER Project
open-in-new
<p>OER Project is a non-profit <a href="/facts/Open_educational_resources/cYbz7efT">open educational resources</a> provider co-founded in 2011 by <a href="/facts/Bill_Gates/z16t4m7s">Bill Gates</a> and <a href="/facts/David_Christian_(historian)/dhHfdbYU">David Christian</a>. Originally known as Big History Project (BHP), the titular course was intended to enable the global teaching of the subject of <a href="/facts/Big_History/HqHM4He8">Big History</a>, which has been described as "the attempt to understand, in a unified way, the history of Cosmos, Earth, Life and Humanity." The company rebranded as OER Project in 2019 and now offers World History Project, Climate Project, and other courses in addition to the original BHP curriculum. </p>
