Suggestions for demonstrations
So many conferences, so little time... maybe somebody is 'around' and it could be a good opportunity to show or demo the XO.
- Cátedra UNESCO de Educación a Distancia keeps track of series of events related to open, flexible, virtual or distance learning globally (with some emphasis on spanish) here March, April, May...).
- eLearning Workshops keeps a similar list (or a calendar view)
