Dr Martin Dougiamas is founder and CEO of Moodle, the open source learning management system, that is used by millions of learners around the world daily. Moodle has grown from Martin's university project to a 250-person company empowering educators to create and support learning activities.

In this episode, Martin shares his education philosophy, and why he is so passionate about open source. He also talks about the Open EdTech association that brings together educational open source companies and projects to offer an alternative to mega corporations and their lock-ins.

Not recorded are the three words he associates with portfolios: constructionism, collaboration, and curation.
