Open Education Week - Online Presentation: Dr. Cable Green "Shifting to Community Owned and Operated Open Knowledge"

by Canada Open Education Resources

[cid:b0558721-b7a0-45b2-b1d4-937c9f8d3e86] What are your plans for Open Education Week? (March 3 - 7, 2025) Join us for a special online presentation by Dr. Cable Green, Director of Open Knowledge at Creative Commons. Title: Shifting to Community Owned and Operated Open Knowledge Date: Monday, March 3, 2025 Time: 1:00pm - 2:00pm (SaskTime/ CST) Register: https://uregina.libcal.com/event/3844645 Abstract: If we are going to solve the world’s most pressing challenges (e.g., climate change), the knowledge about those challenges must be open. This talk will explore what open knowledge structures society might need to ensure the knowledge components necessary for education and science – both critical elements in solving global challenges – are open by default. Open Education and Open Science both require significant, stable public funding. Both education and science are public goods and the production, reuse and revisions of education and science resources should be publicly funded and openly licensed to ensure educational opportunities for all. What might “Community Owned and Operated Open Education” look like? What are the barriers and the opportunities? What if funding currently spent on expensive commercial educational resources were redirected to support the creation, stewardship and sharing of effective OER in every discipline, in every grade level in multiple languages? What if we redirected existing public funding to create a sustained shared open learning infrastructure for the public good? Shuana Niessen, M.Ed.
