[Open-education] Open Education Week March 2015

Fri Nov 14 13:52:11 UTC 2014

Hi Everyone,

Things have been a little quiet recently - do feel free to share what 
you've been up to and are interested in!

Open Education Week would be a great opportunity for us to do something 
together as a working group. Does anyone have any ideas?

Here's a quick brain dump from me:

  * Showcasing open data sets related to education - maybe a series of
    blog post on datasets and related tools
  * Teachers and open education - asking teachers to share how they are
    using open education resources and using open education approaches -
    blog posts or short videos
  * Pushing forward an activity that has been mentioned in the working
    group calls <http://education.okfn.org/working-group-calls/> such as
    the CC translation work
  * Focus on our Open Education around the World series - attempt to
    fill countries that aren't written about
  * A summary of our Friday chats - would people like these revived?
  * ...

Note that the next working group call 
<http://education.okfn.org/working-group-calls/> will take place in 
January 2015. We have something else planned for December that we will 
share with you soon.

Hoping for some discussion soon!

Thanks

Marieke
