Obama Chooses Open Textbook Supporter

April 7, 2009 ・ No Comments

SFGate is reporting that Obama has nominated Martha Kanter to be Undersecretary of Education. Kanter is the Chancellor of Foothill-De Anza Community College District. Of note for OEN readers, Kanter supported open education initiatives at Foothill-De Anza and may continue to do so in her new role. From the article:

She [Kanter] would also like to see colleges share noncopyrighted books and course materials on the Internet, similar to the “community college open textbook project” signed into California law last September.
