The document discusses the LinkedUp project, an EU-funded initiative from 2012-2014 aimed at promoting open data in education. It links educational data from over 500 datasets containing 32 billion statements. The project leads dissemination efforts and several work areas, including a challenge for developing tools using open web data and an advisory working group working to promote open educational resources and practices through an open education handbook.
