  1. Sorry I missed the hangout for EduMOOC this week. It sounds like the Brits and US got caught up in a cultural immersion talk. Lots of updates on projects going on the the US vs Europe. I think it's time the two got closer together. I like the idea of people doing their PRs for the work some are doing for free. I wish we could get our collective intelligence together so we can get grants going for the US and others around the world like the European Commission is providing for Europeans.
