Dear All
A provisional programme is now available for the Making it Matter: Supporting education in the developing world through open and linked data, a free one-day workshop organised by the LinkedUp Project and the Commonwealth of Learning in London, UK on Friday 16th May, 2014.
http://linkedup-project.eu/making-it-matter-workshop/
Speakers include Venkataraman Balaji (Director, Technology & Knowledge Management, Commonwealth of Learning), Tom Salmon (Teacher and open development researcher), Stefan Dietze (LinkedUp Project) and Christophe Gueret (DANS NL and WorldWide Semantic Web). There are also a series of interactive breakout sessions.
The aim of the workshop is to bring together software developers, educators and individuals from the development community to see how they can work together by using open and linked data to support education in the developing world.
A limited number of spaces are still available for the workshop.
We have also now set up a form so people can register if they are interested in remote participation on the day. Talks will be streamed and there will be opportunities to participate online in break-out sessions.
Looking forward to meeting you at the Making it Matter Workshop!
Thanks
Marieke
