[Open-education] Fwd: Friday Chat: Open data in education

Fri May 9 20:19:05 UTC 2014

No, I hadn't seen this one Otavio.

I have added it to the use cases we have so far: 
http://booktype.okfn.org/open-education-handbook/_draft/_v/1.0/open-data-use-cases/

Reinout van Brakel also emailed me directly about your question and 
mentioned the ePsi platform and the open data in education group there 
<http://www.epsiplatform.eu/group/6968/open-data-and-education>. It is 
use cases I have seen before (in fact one post is by me) but it is still 
worth keeping an eye on.

I'm sure there is more activity going on out there!!
