Goodenough College, London

On 18 March 2011, the RunCoCo team visited Goodenough College, London for the JISC New Strategies for Digital Content Conference to mark the end of the e-Content programme 2009-11. The RunCoCo presentation slides can be downloaded from the project website as PDF, and there is a blog about that presentation.
