This page is about a mass collaboration project Open Assessors' Network. For a description about the project's website and workspace, see Opasnet.


<section begin=glossary />

The Open Assessors' Network is a mass collaboration project for open assessors, that is people who are willing to promote the open assessment practices in the aim to improve societal decision-making. The major part of the collaboration happens on Opasnet, the website and workspace of this network: http://en.opasnet.org. In addition, there is a plan that Open Assessors' Network should be developed into a scientific society. The society could maintain the Opasnet website and publish the Journal of Open Assessment.
