A Happy New Year to you (it really has to be better than 2020)! Last month, just before Christmas I recorded a podcast interview with Mark Nichols (formerly of the British Open University and now back working in New Zealand as Executive Director of the Open Polytechnic) for his series titled: Leaders and Legends of Online Learning. Now, I’m flattered to think that someone might think of me as a ‘legend’ but it was great fun to talk about my greatest passion in life: learning. 

Mark asked me several deep and searching questions about my views of education, particularly around technology supported learning and online learning during the pandemic. We covered a lot of ground,  some of it contentious, and listening back, I’m quite amazed at how much we crammed into 30 minutes of conversations. There is a treasure trove of other recordings and interviews with legends of online learning on the website which is available at this link (I’m number 52 in the series).
