-#| "technology strategist Kim Thanos, Lumen Learning is dedicated to "
-#| "improving student success, bringing new ideas to pedagogy, and making "
-#| "education more affordable by facilitating adoption of open educational "
-#| "resources. In 2012, David and Kim partnered on a grant-funded project "
-#| "called the Kaleidoscope Open Course Initiative.<placeholder type="
-#| "\"footnote\" id=\"0\"/> It involved a set of fully open general-education "
-#| "courses across eight colleges predominantly serving at-risk students, "
-#| "with goals to dramatically reduce textbook costs and collaborate to "
-#| "improve the courses to help students succeed. David and Kim exceeded "
-#| "those goals: the cost of the required textbooks, replaced with OER, "
-#| "decreased to zero dollars, and average student-success rates improved by "
-#| "5 to 10 percent when compared with previous years. After a second round "
-#| "of funding, a total of more than twenty-five institutions participated in "
-#| "and benefited from this project. It was career changing for David and Kim "
-#| "to see the impact this initiative had on low-income students. David and "
-#| "Kim sought further funding from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, "
-#| "who asked them to define a plan to scale their work in a financially "
-#| "sustainable way. That is when they decided to create Lumen Learning."
