We are all delighted to have had Stephen Downes speak to our EC&I 831 class last Monday, March 11, 2008. Stephen framed his presentation around personal learning and we received a first-hand look at how Stephen manages an immeasurable amount of information through his own customized software approach.
The presentation is available as a recorded Elluminate session, and the slides are available via Slideshare (below).
You can also download the recorded audio podcast (thanks Rob).
Note: In order to be responsive to constructive feedback, we will be releasing all of the presentation audio from EC&I 831 in audio-only, podcast format. Watch for this.
Thanks so much Stephen! You’ve added an invaluable contribution to the course and to the students of EC&I 831.
