Academic Innovation
Talk to me about academic innovation in all its guises. About Open: Open Texts, Open Data, Open Science, Open source code, Open pedagogy (even though I'm still not quite sure what that is). About developing curriculum & learning experiences for unique groups of people in strange places, especially internationally. About keeping one hand in the business even after retirement.
