A Future Vision
Internet of Education Preamble
A Collaborative Idea
The Internet of Education (IoE) is not an organization, but a future vision where every human on earth has access to quality education and economic opportunities. It is an idea with room for many voices, researchers, agencies, organizations, and companies. It will require innovation, experimentation, and getting things wrong while always iterating toward what’s right.
A Decentralized Community
The Internet of Education encourages debate and critical discourse from a variety of perspectives because global education is just as diverse as its people. The Internet of Education is not fully owned or controlled by any one person, central guardian, group, or faction of groups. Anyone can be an IoE steward by committing to and following the guiding principles.

One Open Internet
One Open IoE
There is only one open IoE. We will work together to protect and connect all network nodes and ensure the IoE equitably benefits humanity.
Distributed Governance
Like the vision for the Internet, we will ensure that no one organization asserts more control than is needed to enable shared advancement and interoperability between all IoE network nodes.
Effective Collaboration
We will empower all stewards of the IoE to make prompt, precise, and mutually beneficial decisions in order to advance the shared mission, principles, and protocols of the IoE.
Open Standards
We will develop, promote, publish and/or adopt, without restriction, technical and academic standards that align to the practices and principles outlined by OpenStand.
Open Participation
We will ensure that any individual, group, or organization can access and participate at no cost. The only requirement will be to pledge commitment to these guiding principles.
Proportional Influence
We will ensure that the relative influence in resolving any contested decisions be proportional to the number and diversity of learners representing the nodes of the active IoE network.
Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
We will advocate for and support historically marginalized groups, address individual and cultural bias, and work to dissolve structural barriers through civil discourse and the creative and humane use of technology.
Data Dignity
We will develop, adopt, and promote technologies and data practices that place people over profits so the IoE becomes a public good that puts humans and their data first.
Agency & Access Control
We will ensure that all learner records are accessible and/or controlled by the individual (or their guardian) and that all identity systems are transparent and aim to preserve privacy and data agency.
Lifelong Learning
We will recognize and support ALL educational experiences that result in positive human development and acknowledge that learning begins at birth and continues throughout the lifetime of everyone on earth.
