Hey all,
We just published the pre-launch announcement for School of Open. As
promised <http://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/36078>, the School of
Open is launching its first set of courses during Open Education Week, *March
11-15, 2013*. This means that all facilitated courses will open for sign-up
that week, and all stand-alone courses will be ready to take then or
anytime thereafter. The complete list of courses are available at the blog
post <http://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/36913>, in addition to the
list of launch events that are being held around the world in Germany,
Kenya, Sudan, the U.S., and on the web. Courses include several on
Wikimedia and Wikipedia! Read more at:
