Each one of us is a learner or an educator. Some of us are more one than the other; some of us are both at the same time. But every single one of us stands to benefit from a revitalized look at what education means in the 21st century. Come hear how CC, OER, technology, and openness in general have been beneficial for reshaping the way we teach and learn, and join the discussion of how we can continue to make it so. Join us Monday, June 13 at pariSoma Innovation Loft for a panel on the power of openness in education. Our panel of educational movers and shakers, moderated by CC's new CEO Cathy Casserly, will help us rethink the way we do research, build programs, and create educational material of every kind, so we can maximize impact in education for learners today and long into the future.
