Normally I'm the one doing the interviews. I have hosted more than 2 dozen for EDEN over the last few years at conferences in Spain, Norway, Hungary and Sweden. But this time, EDEN (the European Distance and E-Learning Network) turned the tables on me and I was the one in the hot seat. I was one of the opening keynotes for the annual EDEN conference in Bruges (#eden19), and because most of the keynotes are usually interviewed for the EDENTube channel, I found myself in front of the microphone being interviewed by Krisztina Tatrai, one of the secretariat's full time staff.
The result is a 6-7 minute interview in which I talk about the EDEN community of academics and professionals, mobile learning and games in education, and digital badges, as well as some elaboration on the way EDEN has been leveraging the potential of social media over the last few years. It was fun, but I think I know which side of the microphone I prefer. I encourage you to check out the EDENTube video interviews - there are some great insights into people's thinking, and some nice examples of technology supported learning in there waiting to be discovered.
