A session abstract and a link to slides is available.

They plan to launch a new site early in 2018, and we have a window of opportunity to influence the new site before the launch. AccessLearn will need to work closely with EOWG on providing clear, prioritized recommendations, and a plan for creating the recommended new content.

> We're pleased that so many group members have provided feedback on our list of recommended actions for plugging content gaps. Our next step is to finalise this prioritization as soon as possible, so that EOWG has a clear message of what content we think should be included and how it should be provided.

So, while you review and indicate your priority for each recommendation, please consider whether you would be willing to be involved in authoring or reviewing the content associated with the recommendation. Thank you!
