Dear All,

I'm forwarding you this message about the IMS Open Technical Forum meeting
to be held in Sheffield this September. It is a rare and ideal opportunity
for anyone interested in the workings of IMS to find out more. It is an
open meeting that anyone can attend, and there is no attendance fee either.

Please see the e-mail below for further details.

Best wishes

Jenny

>I'm delighted to announce that the next quarterly meeting of the IMS Global
>Learning Consortium, will be hosted by our IMS in Europe members in
>Sheffield, UK. A major part of this event will be an IMS Open Technical
>Forum (OTF) on September 26th. The OTF is an opportunity for the wider
>community and the IMS membership to explore topical issues in distributed
>learning. The format for each topic is a panel of international experts to
>lead the discussion, with questions and comments from the audience. The
>topics for this event will be international efforts on conformance and a
>showcase of e-Learning implementations in the UK which are using the growing
>number of technical specifications now published.

>Following the OTF, 5.00-7.00pm, there will be a Member Exchange, providing a
>more personal opportunity for exhibitors to demonstrate products and
>services and for attendees to explore these in more detail.
