[Cc-hk] Practical Workshop on the Use of CC Materials

Rebecca MacKinnon rebecca.mackinnon at gmail.com
Mon Sep 24 00:55:20 EDT 2007


I can make Nov. 24 only. Unfortunately many of my students will have other
classes at that time but perhaps if we videotape the workshop (and publish
it online under a CC license of course), people who can't make it will still
be able to benefit.

Cheers,
Rebecca
