The RM Education Lectures collect together presentations that have taken place at various events organised by RM. Many of the individuals who have been kind enough to take part have either directly or indirectly influenced education in some way.
Because these presentations have wide appeal we're happy to extend access to the events via podcasts, videos and online. Each time we have a new presentation we will add the files here, so make sure you keep coming back, or better still, subscribe via iTunes or the RSS data feed.
