I suggest that you watch the talk at 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_zacX9DcZA  After doing that, could 
you please comment about it on the edu-discuss@ietf.org mailing list?

If you could explain what you liked about the talk, what you found 
difficult to understand and which parts of the talk is directly 
relevant to what you do?
