We now have a date for our second Open Education Working Group Call: Thursday, 13th March 1:30-2:30pm, GMT. The Call is being held in Open Education Week as an official event.

If you wish to participate join us in the Google hangout or you can just watch the call on Google Hangout on Air.

If you are interested in being involved leave your details on the Google form (also embedded at the end of this post).

During the meeting we will be using an Etherpad for the agenda and notes.

The call falls in to two parts. Firstly they will be an opportunity for us to get to know each other. During the first half of the call people will be able to introduce themselves and give a brief overview of the open education related project and activities they are involved with (think of it as a quick lightning talk – so mega quick!) You don’t have to speak if you don’t want to, there’s no pressure. But if you have something you’d like to share then this will be the time. Secondly there will be a chance for us to get the group active. The second part of the call will allow us to get down to business and here we will discuss what we’d like the working group to be, future activities, ideas for events etc.

The minutes from the last meeting are available online.

Once again we are planning to hold the meeting in Google hangouts but would really appreciate your Skype addresses in case we have any problems. There is an upper limit of 15 people for Google Hangouts but we will be transmitting in Google Hangouts on Air too – we are currently investigating other approaches. Please check out the hangouts spec in advance.

Hope to see you there!
