I thought it was a good talk overall. The message was essentially this: we are in an era when education is being industrialized. Meanwhile, a lot of education work is being marginalized, and it is only the ethics of care that supports things like, say, open education. But as Geroge Siemens says, education is a system, and systems don't care - only people care. Somehow, says Kate Bowles, we need to turn this around. Systems break down because they ask the most vulnerable people within them to pay the price of changing them. And the university (like the Murray-Darling river system) has broken down. This university is no longer a university. Note: the video opens with a bunch of advertisements, then welcome messages, and at the 33 minute mark the talk actually starts.
