This event brings together two of the leading figures in media and academic debates about the value and potential of user-generated content. In this moderated debate, Larry Sanger and Andrew Keen will be challenged to answer a range of questions relating to the Internet’s role in creating and disseminating knowledge.

We hope to make the initial announcement, finally, of that free educational content project in June.
is there a transcript from this debate?
