The Higher Education Participation and Partnerships Program (HEPPP) in Australia supports students from low socio-economic (SES), Indigenous, and regional backgrounds to access university education. Funded by the Federal Government, it aids universities in implementing strategies to improve access, retention, and completion rates of these students. The funding is allocated based on the proportion of low SES students at each university, and interested teachers can contact Howard Errey or project lead Jack Dunstan for resource access.

The SkillsCommons project, initiated in 2013 under California State University and MERLOT, led by Gerry Hanley, aimed to create a large repository of educational materials for workforce development. Supported by grants totaling nearly $2 billion from the Trade Adjustment Assistance for Community Colleges and Career Training (TAACCCT) program, it has become the world's largest collection of its kind. With over 180,000 users and 1.6 million downloads, it offers various resources including e-textbooks, online courses, and program management documents. Hanley's experience as both the executive director of MERLOT and the director of SkillsCommons has influenced its design and operation. The project team has been responsive to user needs, continuously developing new features and functions to enhance navigation and support users effectively.
