    Open education has grown into a potentially transformative force for higher education. The growing amount and quality of open content, the emergence of new forms of online learning, and the maturity of open source tools combine to present liberal education with institutional challenges and pedagogical opportunities. Liberal arts colleges are engaging with open education in diverse ways, usually at the level of pilots and early adoption.
