UKOER10 Fringe July 22, 2010

On Friday 23rd July JISC is hosting an international showcase for Open Education Resources in London and to take advantage of this there is going to be an informal meetup the evening before in central London upstairs at the Theodore Bullfrog pub near Charing Cross station and the Strand to discuss some of the technical challenges that OER discovery offers and also some of the solutions that are already starting to emerge.

Nathan Yergler, CTO of Creative Commons will be attending from the US and Pippa Buchanan who is working on the P2PU/Mozilla Drumbeat 'School of Web Craft' project will be coming over from Berlin. Members of the JISC Cetis team who have been working on the technical aspects of the current UKOER work will also be attending.

We also have the brains behind OCW Search will come along as well as hopefully someone from the OpenLearn team at the OU.
