I interviewed Stephen Downes at SURF Education Days 2007 in Utrecht, Netherlands. The conference was mainly about professional learning and education.I’ve known Stephen’s great newsletter since 2001. He covered my previous project MimerDesk on March 29, 2002 with the following words:
For those of you looking for alternatives to six-figure learning management systems, here is an alternative that my be easier on your budget (and may change the way you approach online learning).
Well, MimerDesk really didn’t change the approach to online learning in general but it teached me many things. The project has been discontinued since 2003 once I started my work on Dicole.
In february 2005 I interviewed Stephen Downes for a podcast and since then we have been watching the work of each other closely. Finally we had the opportunity to meet in person at the dutch edu-blogger dinner (thanks to Wilfred Rubens and Keith Russell) and later at the SURF Education Days 2007 conference.
We both had presentations at the conference. I recorded Stephen’s great presentation on free learning vs. control learning and my own that will be available later. Until then, here is a video interview with Stephen Downes as we retreated from the conference to a restaurant to have a conversation on all things learning:
