[Gllug] Open for Business event tonight

[John Hearns]

I don't think I will be there, but this should interest quite a lot of 
people on GLLUG.
Abstract below.




One of the most inspiring aspects of the Free Software movement has been 
its educational ethos: users teach each other and themselves, and share 
their experiences doing so. There is a rich history of peer education, 
which is now being re-examined and adapted by forward thinking 
organisations in light of new technologies and possibilities for self- 
directed learning.

This briefing introduces some ground-breaking ideas and projects in the 
field of knowledge sharing, distributed learning and teaching.

     * Mary Harrington, from The School of Everything will talk about 
'Offline social software: why does face-to-face matter?
     * Ben Vershbow will introduce his work at the Institute for the 
Future of the Book
     * Andy Gibson will talk about his experience starting a Freeschool 
within the School for Social Entrepreneurs
