From: Peter Brantley <[log in to unmask]> Date: Tue, Apr 15, 2014 at 11:25 AM The Monterey Institute for Technology and Education (MITE), Hypothes.is, and Lumen Learning, with the support of the Hewlett Foundation, are hosting a 2-day workshop in June 9-10 in Berkeley California, to discuss measures of enhancing open education through annotation. Please help me spread the word of this summit, which is the first of its kind. More information here: http://oerannotation.wordpress.com/oer-annotation-summit-2014/ "This meeting is one of a series planned to explore opportunities and barriers to fostering greater collaboration in solving shared technology challenges for open education (OER) projects. This particular meeting will focus on annotation and metadata challenges and solutions for OER, especially with an eye toward integrating tools that allow for more distributed and participatory mark-up. Questions about metadata standards, protocols, and presumed benefits, as well as associated tools for facilitating search, discovery, and engagement, have been a significant part of the discourse around OER for years; however, we believe we may now have the necessary elements (and not just technologies) and distributed support to turn a corner on this front." #end
