 Hello, I'm Michael Drake, Chancellor of UC Irvine. I am proud to be celebrating Open Education Week with you and thousands of others around the world. Education really is the key to that developing world, but for the world to have even 40 percent of a young people enrolled in universities and technical colleges, it would need to build 3,000 more campuses like ours, with annual operating expenses of more than $2 trillion. That's impractical and perhaps even unwise. That's why our campus became involved in the free and open education movement. Our open courseware website provides access to UCI faculty and the educational opportunities available on our campus. UCI was the first West Coast university to become a member of the OCW consortium, whose members now include MIT, UC Berkeley, Johns Hopkins University, the Open University of the United Kingdom, and 250 other universities around the world that collectively offer over 14,000 open courses. UCI faculty members have contributed to nearly 80 full courses, 200 video lectures, and over 1,000 learning materials available for free on our website. Our campus is celebrating Open Education Week by hosting Open Education TV. This webcast features our best faculty created courses, seminars, and video lectures. Our public university tradition embraces the goal of free and open education to enable everyone to learn anything, anywhere, anytime, for free. Please join UCI, hundreds of universities and thousands of teachers and learners from around the world in making this lofty goal a reality.
