The workshop will bring together an international group of mathematicians to discuss creation of effective, usable, open mathematics content and to share best practices for utilizing such content to improve classroom based courses. The specific goals are to empower the creation and curation of high quality mathematics instructional content that can be broadly utilized by global learners and re-purposed easily into courses, provide information for those looking to adopt innovative instructional strategies in their classroom based courses by exploiting open mathematics content and collect information about current research results in effective mathematics instruction and empower further coordinated research in this area.

This workshop is part of a larger coordinated effort to build capacity within the community of mathematical scientists for the creation and curation of content for complete (semester-long) courses (online lectures, quiz question banks, in-class activities) to help instructors build and run active learning classes and MOOCs without having to go through the process of creating all of these materials or repeatedly having to search through existing repositories to find the precise items they need for each lecture.
