informal learning

A lot of informal learning can take place in many different formats -
email newsletters, online discussions, as well in formal courses and
workshops. Any and all can be effective online.

http://www.wikieducator.org/GWLN - notes from the phone meeting to
discuss GWLN communication needs, some of the
technologies that might be included in a communication
"plan", lots of links to technologies that might someday be useful for
GWLN

http://www.wikieducator.org/GWLN/Education_for_Women_in_Turkey
about doing something for Turkish women.

Community of practice - this might be a place to start with the
current group that are in Santa Clara next week. These things need
lots of members to be active, so adding all the previous graduates and
resources might help make it active enough to be interesting.
