Global virtual collaboration

Well, yesterday I was supposed to hold a keynote speech at the Chilean Conference on Learning Technologies - well prepared, connections tested and everything was perfect...until...well, until the conference started...slow connections, technical difficulties, murphy's law worked fine for me...

anyway, with the help of trusted colleagues, we were able to do some improvisations - even though I was rather embarrased, my colleagues helped out a lot - this is probably what counts in international collaborations - so, be always prepared to have a PLAN B :-)

By the way, the intended speech was on OER in the global context...recording (part of PLAN B) attached....
