Putting the “nightcap” before the main course may be backwards, or the start of a new trend; these days, I’m believing almost anything is possible. At any rate, here’s the formal interview Matt Pasiewicz and Vidya Ananthanarayanan did with me at EDUCAUSE 2005. Both Matt and Vidya knew exactly what questions would get me going. Thanks to their expert interviewing, I’m sure you’ll hear the excitement in my voice as I warm to my topics here. Thanks also to Brian Yuhnke for ace audio engineering and some well-judged post-production.

You can subscribe to all of EDUCAUSE’s podcasts very easily at connect.educause.edu. Two recent interviews you should not miss: one with my friend and mentor Brian Lamb of “Abject Learning,” and one with Clifford Lynch, Executive Director of the Center for Networked Information. Cliff won a Leadership award at this year’s EDUCAUSE, and his talk on the “Data Deluge” was certainly one of the high points for me at this year’s convention.
