Fantastic talk by university lecturer and software engineer Richard Baraniuk on the ‘web-ification’ of education and learning resources into his ‘Connexions’ open source project.

In his talk he foresees the user becoming their very own “educational DJ” something i imagine would be fabulous addition to my digital device. Baraniuk raises some exciting prospects for his Connexions concept. And is something that will be a very powerful and robust addition to the teaching tool box.
