Peter Norvig's "Learning in an open world", and Dylan Wiliam's "Assessment, learning and technology: prospects at the periphery of control"

I've previously made quite a lot of Dylan Wiliam's and Peter Norvig's keynote speeches at the 2007 ALT Conference last September. Dylan and Peter have each now approved the full text transcripts of their sessions, and these are now available as PDF files, along with MP3s, slides, and captured video of the sessions, from the ALT-C 2007 web site. The transcriptions, skillfully done by Ann Ciechanowski, have each been annotated to show the slide transitions, and I think they are each worth taking the time to read in full.

For ease of reference:

  • Assessment, learning and technology: prospects at the periphery of control, by Dylan Wiliam, Deputy Director of the Institute of Education: Text transcript [75 kB PDF]; Slides [400 kB PDF]; MP3 recording [12 MB].
  • Learning in an open world, by Peter Norvig, Director of Research at Google: Text transcript [75 kB PDF]; Slides [13.5 MB PDF]; MP3 recording [23 MB].

Disclosure: I have half-time employment with ALT.
