In June of 2017, Jonkoping, Sweden, was the latest European city to host the annual summer gathering and once again, I managed to record some in depth conversations with several of the conference plenary speakers, including this one with Stefan Hrastinski. At the conference his key theme was one to one online learning.

I've been speaking at a variety of conference up and down the country, and it can get quite time consuming putting in the miles and preparation.
