Firefinches: New, Ghana, wiki, subject page at WUaS, Harvard talk with Berkeley professor, Jenna Burrell, on ethnography of the global internet via cafes, Also talk of online bookstores and commerce in Ghana, Ethan Zuckerman liveblogged this talk


New, Ghana, wiki, subject page at WUaS ...

http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Ghana ... 


which is the beginning of an online Ghanian university, 

and which welcomes / needs OCW resources and funding ... 

WUaS may eventually accredit in Ghana for online degrees in English (the official language) 

and become wiki schools in other languages there. ...


to which I added the following: 

"Invisible Users: Youth in the Internet Cafes of Urban Ghana"

Jenna Burrell, Assistant Professor in the School of Information at UC Berkeley

... may be archived. 

This online, Harvard talk focused on ethnography of the global internet via cafes in Ghana ...

... Jenna also talked of online bookstores and commerce in Ghana ... 

which I found relevant for WUaS's upcoming, online, bookstore / computer store
