	*CORE ASSESSOR GROUP of CURRICULA* Because of our double-blind policy, which mandates that the faculty group being assessed cannot know the identity of the assessors and vice versa, the members of our core assessor group of curricula cannot be listed by name. To date, there are 7 assessors in course and curricula assessment. The range of experience in this group ranges from Level-2 assessors to a Level-4 assessors. A full list of the assessors will be made available to a third-party legal office upon request, upon condition that the third party keep the names and affiliated colleges/universities of the assessor group private. CONTACT INFORMATION General Contact Info Our policy concerning contact information is to not list our physical addresses and our phone numbers. This has reduced our amount of incoming marketing attempts by companies not associated with the OpenLATCH Education Foundation.
