Stuff I have bookmarked for August 20th through September 2nd:

- Derry firm to sign £20m contract – Derry Today – “High-tech Derry firm, Learning Pool, is set to sign a major international contract which could be worth £20 million.” Onwards and upwards for the LP team!
- Local Government Engagement Online Research » Blog Archive » Special Feature: Understanding Collaborative Learning with Hadley Beeman and Diving into the Learning Pool – “Collaborative learning is taking the principle of people working together and having ideas bouncing off each other and take command of new material better than they would on their own.
