Recorded version of IAALD NING Webinar

The webinar presented by Peter Fernandez on December 1 was very well attended with over 20 people participating online and many others inquiring whether they could listen to a recorded version later on. Fortunately, Blackboard Collaborate (formerly Elluminate) allows for the recording and sharing of these webinars and Federico Sancho from IICA has kindly provided the link. IAALD's Executive Committee has decided to make these webinars openly accessible for anyone, however we might want start charging non-members later on.
