Cable Green

Director of Open Education

Dr. Cable Green is the Director of Open Education at Creative Commons. He works with open education, science and research communities to leverage open licensing, content, practices and policies to expand equitable access and contributions to open education. Cable’s work is focused on identifying complex problems (e.g., UN SDGs) where open education is a critical part of the solution, and then opening that knowledge to help solve the problem. He is also a leading advocate for open licensing and procurement policies that ensure publicly funded education and research resources are freely and openly available to the public.

Cable has 25+ years of digital learning and open education experience and helped establish the: Open Course Library, Open Up Resources, CC Certificate, CC Open Education Platform, Institute for Open Leadership, UNESCO Recommendations on OER and Open Science, Open Climate Campaign, Open Climate Data Project, CC Consulting services, Digital Public Goods Standard, Open Preprints, and multiple other initiatives. Cable holds a PhD in education psychology from Ohio State University, and enjoys motorcycling and skiing in the mountains with his family in Washington State.
