Using Open Data in Education
The initial purpose of this group centers around the following aims:
- Identifying sources of open data that are relevant to education
- Documenting strategies and approaches for incorporating various data sources into a single site/instance
- Documenting the means by which schools and local communities can gain a more complete understanding of the factors affecting how people learn
More data is being released in more usable formats by local, state, and federal agencies. Data points (information like median income, crime rates, political demographics, percentage of renters to owners, etc) all help provide a backdrop against which educational outcomes can be more fully understood. However, the flood of data creates real issues around signal to noise.
This group will help develop toolkits that will allow decision makers and other motivated stakeholders get access to relevant information in usable formats.

Benchmarking Higher Ed Sites ...
I recently revisited an old pet project of mine looking at benchmarking and comparing higher education sites. It is obviously a work in progress, but it is shaping up fairly well at this stage and I'm getting to a point where I'd like to secure some feedback. If 'ya get a chance, please take a look and let me know what you think. It's based on D7, represents around 3,200 US higher ed sites, and has a range of data to sift through.
Drupal and Education Open Space: Call for Participation
Education is increasingly recognised as a major and growing need for the growing Drupal community. During DrupalCons educational BoFs are very common, but we may need more structure to collaborate on the diversity of challenges for education.

Open Data session at DrupalCamp Chicago
Hi folks,
For those who may be attending DrupalCon Chicago, I wanted to let you know that I've submitted a session proposal you may be interested in. I was surprised to see no sessions discussing Open Data or how Drupal would leverage Open Data sources, so as a heavy user of political "open data" in particular, I submitted a session to address this topic.
I've outlined the proposed session here: http://chicago2011.drupal.org/sessions/nomnomnom-consuming-3rd-party-dat...
