The Future of Learning - Keynote talk at Sidney: International Conference for Learning Science - More about orchestration and how to predict collaborative “drop outs” and work with teams to encourage equal participation.

Classroom Ergonomics - Interesting talk about classroom orchestration, and how having tangible elements in the class work (actual pieces of paper that students can download, print out, and hold in their hand) improves the performance of students taking online courses.
