Skypecast interview with Martin

Site event
Steve Hargadon interviews Moodle creator Martin Dougiamas

The interview will be broadcast live as a "Skypecast" at 8:00 am Pacific Daylight Time. Details will be posted 30 minutes prior to the interview at http://edtechlive.wikispaces.com/Upcoming+Interviews.

The recorded show will later be posted at EdTechLive.com.

In past interviews the format has consisted of some time in which Steve talks with the guest (Martin) and then toward the end of the session, other participants (you) have the opportunity to ask questions. You can also post your questions ahead of time so that Steve might be able to present them in the interview.
