Comments
I would like to introduce myself to the person who has been coordinating OU activity within the OPAL project in order to pass on information about a one-day conference concerning online educational resources taking place at the University of Warwick near Coventry in September.
I wonder if it would be possible for the appropriate person to contact me at this email address and I will give more details to them. Thank you.
Kind regards
Robin Beecroft
