Greetings Colleagues, Friends and Family:
Please forgive cross-postings…
I am delighted to announce I have accepted the position of “Director of Global Learning” @ Creative Commons (job details below). CC posted the news this morning.
While I am sad leaving the Washington State Board for Community & Technical Colleges (it has been the best job of my career!), I have an intense passion for open education resources and open policy… and this is an opportunity to work those issues on a global scale. I believe, as the marginal cost of sharing digital content approaches $0, we have a collective obligation to help learners everywhere access a quality, affordable education.
I think it will be a good fit ;)
