The Learning Revolution Has Begun

NOVEMBER 21, 2013

Today is day four of the 2013 Global Education Conference.

He has some radical things to say about education, and he isn't always popular. With Josie Fraser, Helen Keegan and Cristina Costa in Utrecht, 2007 Graham invited me to speak in Utrecht the following year at an event called 'Show that you Share', which in retrospect became a pivotal point in my involvement in the open learning movement.
