 Hi Everyone,

We still have a few places remaining for this workshop. It's going to be a
great opportunity to hear about current initiatives in the development,
technology and education overlap. There will also be plenty of time for
discussion and networking.

The workshop is Making it Matter: Supporting education in the developing
world through open and linked data and will be held in London, UK on Friday
16th May, 2014
http://linkedup-project.eu/making-it-matter-workshop/

If you can't make it talks will be streamed and videos released afterwards
- signup for remote
participation
.

Hope to see you there.

Dear All

A provisional 
programmeis
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
spacesare
still available for the workshop.

We have also now set up a form so people can
registerif
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
