Open Education Conference

South Puget Sound Community College will host the Open Education Conference on Friday, March 20, featuring Dr. Cable Green.

The conference will focus on the benefits and future of open education in the higher education setting. Open education is an international movement seeking to make education and educational resources freely and openly available for educators and students to use, modify, and share for teaching and learning. Cable, the Director of Global Learning for Creative Commons, works with the global education community to leverage open licensing, open educational resources, and open policies to significantly improve access to quality education and research resources worldwide.

The Open Education Conference begins at 10 a.m. on March 20, and runs through 2:30 p.m. Seating is limited, and participants must register online at www.spscc.edu/open-education. The conference is free to attend, and lunch is also provided. In addition to the keynote address from Green, an afternoon breakout session will focus on resources, and a deeper discussion of barriers and solutions.
