ETUG Interest Groups and Chat Sessions – An Update

Just an update about two interest groups that have started up over the summer after the enthusiasm drummed up by the fabulous Spring Workshop at SFU Burnaby Mountain. A group interested in a growing a BC Open Educator Community, gathered for their first chat on August 23 in Big Blue Button. This group is facilitated by Will Engle, UBC (will.engle@ubc.ca) and Brian Lamb, TRU. Check out the BC Open Educator wiki for more information and future sessions:
