Hi LiberationTech Folks! My colleagues and I at TechChange have decided to offer another round of our online certificate course on *Digital Organizing and Open Government* (course description included below). The course will run from April 15th - May 10th.
We've got an amazing line-up of guest experts but are looking for a few more. If you're interested in speaking in the class or sharing case studies from your work then let us know. We're also looking to fill a few more seats so feel free to circulate to your colleagues. Here's a one-minute animation about the course: http://vimeo.com/55556575 For those that are less familiar with TechChange <http://techchange.org/> we offer online certificate courses on our dedicated platform using a number of techniques including social learning, game mechanics, animation, interactive simulations, and more. We're also looking to do a lot more work in animation so if anyone is interested in having their message or content animated then let us know. Cheers, Nick *** *TC104: Digital Organizing and Open Government (April 15th - May 10th)* http://techchange.org/online-courses/global-innovations-for-digital-organizing/ Technological innovation is transforming civil society organization and creating new opportunities for government accountability. This four-week online professional development certificate course will evaluate case studies where new technologies have been used for activism and what factors and contexts are most influential on outcomes.
