During Open Education Month, University Libraries will raise awareness about free and open educational resources (OER). These resources encompass teaching, learning, and research materials that are in the public domain or have been released with an open license. OER includes required course materials, such as textbooks and problem sets, which can help make college more affordable. University Libraries joins hundreds of other universities, colleges, schools and organizations from all over the world to showcase what we're doing to improve educational access. Join us in celebrating Open Education Month by attending this discussion.
Cable Green, director of Global Learning for Creative Commons, and Cheryl Cuillier, the UA's open educational resource librarian, talk about the importance of increasing access to free, high-quality educational resources.

Cable works with the global open education community to leverage open licensing, open content, and open policies to significantly improve access to quality, affordable, education and research resources so everyone in the world can attain all the education they desire. His career is dedicated to increasing access to educational opportunities for everyone around the world.
