[@OKau] Talk on Open Education in UK, Europe or Asia

Mon May 25 02:15:13 UTC 2015

Hi Tom,

I'd be happy to talk generally on OK related points for open education and
the ambition within Australia to support it.

But I think open research might be a more interesting subject and that
might be covered much better by David Flanders, Fiona Tweedie or Steve
Bennett.

What says the peeps?

Cheers,
Steven
