Well, there seem to be days for everything whether it is mothers day, valentines day or world standards day...but this one seems to be of particular interest:
Ban Ki-Moon has addressed the issue of access to information globally: http://portal.unesco.org/ci/en/ev.php-URL_ID=26751&URL_DO=DO_TOPIC&URL_SECTION=201.html
His address includes the necessity for inclusion and access - and he specifically addresses researchers to achieve progress in this. My personal opinion is that the variety of global open education projects will definitely contribute towards better accessibility - but there is a need of harmonization and federation of existing offers...well, I will keep posting on global education & knowledge matters...just a good example for accessible open resources: The Global Learning Objects Brokered Exchange (GLOBE) - here is an article on interoperability for repositories: http://www.dlib.org/dlib/january08/ceri/01ceri.html
More to follow...
