Mary Lee

Mary Y. Lee, Associate Provost for Tufts University, Boston, USA, has led Tufts’ many Open Educational Resource (OER) initiatives since the 1990’s, focusing on high quality content, open-source tools, and faculty development in innovative uses of technology. Dr. Lee stewards Tufts OpenCourseWare; Open.tufts.edu, a portal to major OERs at Tufts; Tufts Digital Repository; Tufts Open Access Fund supporting open access publication; and Tufts University Sciences Knowledgebase (TUSK), an open-source, enterprise curriculum and knowledge management system used on 4 continents.

She is deeply involved in initiatives that bring together global networks of faculty who are using open technology methods (including mobile) to expand access to education and training materials, particularly in partnership in low-resource areas to build local capacity and to improve global health.
