All about keynotes

Saturday, March 8th, 2008

Peter Scott is one of our keynotes at Edmedia this year. We both work at the Open University - Peter is Director of our Knowledge Media Institute - affectionately known to its friends as KMI, whilst I’m located in the Institute for Educational Technology (IET). KMI really push the boundaries of exploring the use of technologies in education - a glance at some of their current projects emphasises this. KMI have produced lots of exciting cutting edge tools over the years, which are often just one step ahead - lyceum, flashmeeting, compendium all come to mind. So Peter’s talk promises to be really interesting and will no doubt give us a glimpse of what’s on the horizon in terms of technology trends. So no pressure Peter! ;-)

Geetha Narayanan

Friday, March 7th, 2008

One of our keynote speakers for Vienna is Geetha Narayanan. I had the pleasure of meeting her in Sydney at the Global Summit a few years ago. Following her presentation, I recorded a short three minute interview. Geetha presents a perspective on learning that contrasts sharply with the “web 2.0″ crowd. Her emphasis is on slow, deep learning. I’m sure attendees at Vienna will find her presentation a refreshing (and challenging!) change of direction from the fast-paced flow of new technologies.
