New Key Discussions Section in Learning Areas

Today I added a ‘Key Conversations‘ section in the Learning Areas menu. This includes a number short discussions (less than 10 minutes typically) that are focused on Education and Technology considerations. Discussions are normally centred on a single concept.

Key Discussions may be viewed as standalone discussions, but may also be incorporated as part of standalone lectures or lectures that are part of DI Courses if appropriate.

Any discussion topics that you would like addressed? Respond with a comment, or drop me an email, and I will look to find a subject matter expert that could prepare a discussion, or lecture, to address the requested topic.

Mini-Lectures may be viewed as standalone lectures, and may also be incorporated into DI Courses where appropriate.

Any topics that you would like addressed? Respond with a comment, or drop me an email, and I will look to find a subject matter expert that could prepare a lecture to address the requested subject.
