Yes, Mr. Spock of Star Trek. As you are aware, he is very important in the industry.
Connie
Thank you for the heads-up, Connie, I will definetely listen to the podcast later on. I’m really interested in what Abbie and Tim have to say about gamification and trends in Learning Management Systems – I’m pretty sure it will be connected with mobile devices.
Also, Mr. Spock as in Spock of Star Trek fame? That got me really curious as well.
Thanks for the idea, John. I can think of Downes. Anyone else you would suggest (who would actually agree to be on the podcast)?
Connectivism Theory would be a great discussion topic to link all the ideas from this podcast: elearning pedagogy, memory formation, networking, etc.
