RSC-MP3: Interview with Colin Dalziel about the next version of PebblePad #eportfolio

RSC-MP3 LogoIt’s been a while since I’ve done a podcast but whilst at the  Enhancement Themes conference last week in between promoting JISC and the Services I managed an impromptu interview with Colin Dalziel from Pebble Learning to ask him about the next version of PebblePad, version 3, which is due out by the end of this year.
Below are links to the recording and a summary of what we talked about (sound quality isn’t the best – I only had the internal speaker on my laptop for recording):
