Stephen Downes: Keynote on Skypecast

I've just participated this morning in the Skypecast of Stephen's keynote address to a conference in South Africa. This was (he thinks) the first ever keynote delivered in this way. There was a combination of a live audience, people listening in from all over the world on Skypecast and texting on Skype chat. It was very exciting to take part. The topic was: 'Learning Objects' what are they good for? and Stephen discussed many ideas on education, learning, technologies and where we may all be going in the future. He'll be creating a podcast of the address and posting it on his website.
