In 2002, Petrides organized a group of 40 leaders from K-12 schools, colleges, universities, and businesses at the Knowledge Management in Education summit to discuss improving the use of data and the sharing of information in education.[5] In 2003, ISKME published a monograph on this topic called Knowledge Management in Education: Defining the Landscape.[6]

Petrides has helped develop tools and strategies in the field of open educational practice.[7] In 2007, with a grant from the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation,[8] Petrides and ISKME created OER Commons as a digital library for open content. That same year, Petrides was one of 27 open education figures invited to Cape Town, South Africa, which produced the Cape Town Open Education Declaration, a significant international statement on open access, open education and open educational resources.[9] Petrides is on the advisory group for UNESCO’s OER Dynamic Coalition, supporting the implementation of the UNESCO Recommendation on Open Educational Resources adopted by UNESCO’s General Conference at its 40th session in 2019.[10]
