Crossing boundaries with a bridge to learning

I'm very pleased to announce that Graham Attwell has confirmed that he will present a keynote speech at next year's Plymouth e-Learning Conference, here at the University of Plymouth. Graham shares his time between the University of Bremen, Germany and Pontydysgu (Bridge to Learning: An independent Welsh Research Institute - where he is director) as well as his many travels around Europe. I heard him speak as a stand in keynote speaker last year at Online Educa Berlin, (pictured, checking to see if the mic is live!) and it was very interesting to hear him counter the arguments of the likes of Andrew Keen. Graham believes passionately in open content, open source software, and will offer his own particular brand of wit, anarchic and incisive commentary on the theme of our 2009 e-learning conference - 'Crossing Boundaries: Redefining Learning Spaces'.

We have another keynote speaker under wraps - and I'm not saying. However, as soon as s/he has confirmed as a definite I promise I will announce it right here. In the meantime, keep reading, and I hope to see you at next year's event, down here in sunny Plymouth!
