Opera University Tours

Be sure to check out the blog covering our recently completed university tour in South Africa: http://my.opera.com/universitytours/blog/

From that blog, I just watched the video interview featuring Charles and Jan, and I downloaded the podcast which I'll listen to later.

As far as I know, the next stop of the tour hasn't been announced yet (check here for updates: http://www.opera.com/education/tours/ ), but I do know that Opera is planning something for the US, and I'll be involved in some way. I'll post more details as they become available.

Since I started my new role earlier this year, heading up Opera's user research efforts, I've had the chance to meet and talk with a lot of interesting people from various walks of life. As part of the US university tour, I'm really looking forward to talking with more students about their internet use and how Opera can meet their needs, while inspiring them to find new ways of using the Web for fun and profit.

Just announced: the Opera Web Standards CurriculumOpera on NVIDIA

Is it possible to take part in the lecture if you're not a student at the universities Opera will be visiting? Also would be nice to know the dates so one could take this into consideration.

Grey: that's a good question. I'm not sure. It probably depends on the policies of the individual universities. That said, many schools I've been to in the US have events that are open to the public.

Dates will be announced when they are solidified. Thanks for your interest.
