Visit from intraLibrary

November 26, 2008
Berlin beckons again next week - it's the end of the year, and it's time for OEB! Online Educa Berlin is without doubt the largest e-learning industry conference in Europe, and some would argue, the most influential. For many, OEB is the uber-conference for e-learning.
