Online Educa 08 - Roger Larsen

December 4, 2008 |

Roger Larsen, Fronter, Norway
Learning Together

Frankly an unwelcome and unnecessary advert for far too long at the start of his presentation, this seems quite an insult to the previous speakers who were trying to present new and/or interesting issues. I appreciate that the conference needs sponsors but they should not be mixed with more substantial presentations. I broke my golden rule of not walking out in the middle of a session but really the organisers of Online Educa need to think hard about this sort of this issue. Surely Michael Wesch should have been the last speaker of this session given his profile, ability and interest. Keep the corporate puff of the likes of Fronter and his patronising explanations of MLE’s  for somewhere else, this does the conference no favours at all

    Couldn’t agree more - he lost the plot. Then again the African guy was worse - he had to read out a dull script which he read out verbatim.
