He is on the conference committee for the 2012 Digital Media & Learning Conference in San Francisco, Calif., Mar. 1-3. More details about the conference, "Beyond Educational Technology: Learning Innovations in a Connected World," and call for papers can be found at the conference website: http://dml2012.dmlcentral.net.
Mark is interviewed here by Howard Rheingold, a cyberculture pioneer, social media innovator, and author of "Smart Mobs." In this video, he says we've reached a historical moment where learning can be liberated from its industrial, factory-model roots.
