19:13:48  mrsdurff ->  well something is missing with his audio
19:13:57  mrsdurff ->  you suggest something
19:14:08  Downes ->  ah... the faint voices were Ed Tech Talk UStream - I had the volume down (because it always autostarts - I *hate* that)
19:14:14  dougsymington ->  http://www.businessballs.com/consciouscompetencelearningmodel.htm
