[ecrea] EduWiki conference

We all use Wikipedia when we learn. The relationship between the world's 
largest encyclopaedia and education runs much deeper than this. 
Wikimedia UK, a charity supporting Wikipedia and its sister projects, 
invites you to its second annual EduWiki Conference being held on 
1st-2nd November 2013 in Cardiff Bay, UK. This two-day event will be 
looking at Wikipedia and related projects in terms of educational 
practice including open content and global participation. It's a chance 
to find out more about this, talk about innovative work in your 
institution or online community, and shape the future of Wikimedia UK's 
exciting work in this area!


The conference will be of interest to students, teachers, educators, 
scholarly society members, contributors to Wikipedia and other open 
education projects.

We will explore the ways in which these projects can support innovative 
education, and discuss the Wikipedia Education Program (in which 
university students improve Wikipedia articles for course credit). We 
will learn from universities around the UK where aspects of the 
programme are already embedded, exploring the educational opportunities 
and drawing lessons from the experience so far.

now at http://eduwiki13.eventbrite.co.uk

We are able to offer a reduced conference fee of £30 to staff at 
educational institutions, as well as active Wikimedians.  A day rate of 
£20 is also available.  This fee covers lunch and daytime refreshments.

We hope you can join us in our efforts to continue building promising 
partnerships between Wikimedia and the Education sector.

Many thanks,

Dr Toni Sant
