Here is another event in the Creative Commons year of celebrating their 25th anniversary, a virtual panel session that should of of interest here.
Creative Commons invites you to explore the legacy and history of Open Education—tracing how a set of principled ideas about access, sharing, and collaboration grew into a global movement. This panel brings together leaders who have helped shape and steward this work over time to reflect on the origins of the open education movement, the milestones that defined its evolution, and the communities that carried it forward across regions and generations.
Speakers will share stories from the field: the early experiments, pivotal policy wins, institutional shifts, and grassroots efforts that enabled open education to take root in different parts of the world. Together, we’ll examine how local context—cultural, political, and economic—has influenced what openness looks like in practice, and how these variations have contributed to a rich and evolving global ecosystem.
