Dr. Steven Barnes is a committed advocate of making education accessible. He has removed barriers to learning by using open textbooks in his courses in place of paid textbooks, designed a number of open online courses, and has pioneered open technologies to support open pedagogy and OER development. He has created a large body of stop-motion animations that deal with challenging topics for students of neuroanatomy and neurophysiology, and because they are freely accessible on YouTube, they have been used by instructors around the world.
