Hello friends,
We are doing a giant experiment utilizing peer interactions to promote open learning through a web based platform - Unhangout that was developed at the MIT Media Lab. Using this new technology, we are conducting an online event, "Meet Your Peer Buddy". Here is the event announcement-
On May 11 at 11am IST, join a bunch of storytellers from diverse backgrounds including designers, engineers and entrepreneurs to learn about the topics you are passionate about. On the day of the event, after a live broadcast introducing the speakers, we will encourage you to move into different break-out groups. Each breakout room conversation will be facilitated by a session host where you will know more about their ongoing projects and get an opportunity to ask questions about it. To prepare for the event, make sure you have a Google Account and Google Hangout Plug-in setup.
Date - May 11, 2014 11AM IST
