Keynote for DAY 2 of the Arizona OER SUmmit 2020. Emphasizing the importance of connections between people, institutions, organization over the implementation details of technology, licensing, and content for open education growth. Moving from the Maricopa College District to the entire state of Arizona and through the national CCCOER organization and other open education community members in North America to the world. The world view starts with OEGlobal and then internationally to UNESCO's OER 40C Resolution and finally bringing it back to student benefits through an open pedagogy project at Montgomery College and Kwantlen Polytechnical University linking to the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

continue to grow in potential to improve
our students’ learning experiences.
As Arizona educators become increasingly interested
in the global open education community, the forging of
meaningful cross-institutional connections related to open
education has emerged.”
