clipped from www.openhelix.com To bring the seminar to your institution, apply at www.openhelix.com/seminars.  The only two requirements from the institutions are: -Providing a computer classroom with internet access.  Preferred number of computers is 24 or above. An alternative to a computer room is having wireless available and participants bringing their own laptops. The seminar can be done in the morning and repeated in the afternoon, to reach more users.  - Conduct outreach and communication to participants as necessary.   The number of seminars is limited, so apply today.
