[Open-education] Introduction - and information about the EU-funded LACE project

[Marieke Guy]

Thanks for the introduction Brian, it's very timely.

The links between learning and analytics is one of the things we'll be 
exploring in the Open Education Working group call today 
<http://education.okfn.org/fourth-open-education-working-group-call/> at 
3pm BST/4pm CEST. We have a talk from Martin Ebner from Technische 
Universität Graz - he was suggested as a speaker by Adam Cooper from the 
LACE project.

Can I also suggest that people interested in this are take a look at 
activity on theLinkedUp Project <http://linkedup-project.eu>.

Thanks

Marieke
