What is Ed? (Olive Hopker)

On 14th February, we had a guest speaker called Olive Hopker who was head of planning and development at Swansea Met. Looking back at my notes from this lecture, I realised that I did not enjoy nor understand this lecture. I also remember that it was noisy in the lecture room which may have added to my frustration and caused a lack of concentration on my self and many others. However I do remember that Olive talked about collaboration vs competition and the way it is developed in terms of education and contexts of learning. Overall I did not enjoy this lecture as it was hard topic to understand which was reinforced by a noisy environment,
