From 1986 to 2000 she worked at Educational Testing Service (ETS, the makers of the famed SAT, TOEFL, GRE). Later on due to personal reasons she gave up her job at ETS. She, alongwith a fellow homeschooling parent started homeschooling,and founded a local group for teens to have the opportunity to study and collaborate together: E-cubed: Experience, Explore, Educate https://sites.google.com/site/ecubednj/. Here once per week sessions are designed around teen-led activities. Since the group was founded, it has grown over the years. In 2009-2010, she taught a hybrid course in Introductory Statistics to 5 secondary students who homeschool. The online portion of the course was provided by Carnegie Mellon University's Open Learning Initiative. The goal of the course is to encourage students to think statistically, to communicate accurately and comprehensively about data, and to use a critical framework to evaluate studies. In Fall 2010 and Fall 2011, She taught Statistical Methods II for the Graduate School of Education at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey. She advocates for an educational system which better recognizes and values the rich potential of individual variation among human beings. She argues on why do we think that all children should be force-fed a curriculum based on a narrow set of common standards, devised, largely, at the beginning of the last century? She has truly identified that every child (and certainly every teenager) deserves the option to self-direct his/her own education with the help of caring adults!

The purpose of the study is to examine the experiences of instructors in the adoption of open textbooks. Open Educational Resources have been defined by the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation as, “teaching, learning and research resources that reside in the public domain or have been released under an intellectual property license that permits their free use and re-purposing by others.” Open educational resources include full courses, course materials, modules, textbooks, streaming videos, tests, software, and any other tools, materials, or techniques used to support access to knowledge. Instructors and librarians can provide very insightful information about their experiences with the implementation of open education resources. With your help, we can gain insight into OER and open textbook adoption practices. If you agree to participate, you will be asked to participate in an interview (which will take approximately 60-90 minutes and will be recorded. Participants have the option of selecting either video or voice chat) regarding your experiences and opinions about OER implementation. The identifying information you provide will be kept confidential. Neither your name nor any identifying information will be published, nor will anyone else be able to see your answers.

[WikiEducator] Re: Text tables beautification
Dear all, I was reading all the discussion on Text and Table formatting with a lot interest. Layouting is a difficult proposition for many, and particularly when we deal with Tables. I learnt most of it by hit and trial or by making use of what is available on MediaWiki or done by others. Friends, do you all agree with me that the community needs a short training on this? Couple of Community member experts in Tables/ formatting text, like Brent and Peter could resource this (and I can assist -:)) in more systematic way. We can have pages created as Tutorials and can follow the same system as of L4C. We can name it WikiEd Handson Advance Training (WHAT). Any comments? Pankaj Leigh Blackall wrote: The latest version of OpenOffice has the export to wiki with it. So Hillary, you could create the table in Word, open it in OpenOffice, then export as Wikitext. Obviously it makes little sense to use Word in this process - but then, it always did make little sense to use Word.

[WikiEducator] Re: how to creat a subpage in other than English language
Dear Leo, You can create subpages in other languages in the same way as you do in English. For example to create a subpage on 图书馆/课程, please type [[ 图书馆/课程]] and you can have the subpage on this. You may like to provide different name to the link and for use pipe seperator. The syntax will thus be [[图书馆/课程|图书馆/]]]. I have done one on this at my test pages http://www.wikieducator.org/User:Pankaj/TEST. Pankaj Wong Leo wrote: Dear all , I recently have been encountered a question or technical question that I think many other Non-English user shall possiblly meet in some time , that is how to creat a subpage I believe for English user , No problems , you can creat something like workshop/participant subpage for workshop page , but how could it be possible to creat the subpage under a Chinese character based wiki page , for example ͼ���/�γ� it has been always recongnasised as Non-human read in Chinese wiki the reason Why I ask this question is a lot of times when you look for certain content in wiki , you would use search right ? so if you creat page in English , the Chinese user could not find it is there any other way can solve this problems ?

[WikiEducator] Re: Please set me straight on user talk/discussion pages
Declan
I find User talk and discussion pages helpful in improving the pages
without disturbing by editing. In community, I feel, the initiator has
first right to accept the edits. Here, the comments on discussion
pages will help in improving the pages by the author. Still, we
sometimes do not tend to open Discussion pages. To overcome this,
during development of CCNC modules
http://www.wikieducator.org/index.php?title=CCNC/CCNC_Module_1,
we used Template{{Note|See my comments in the discussion area}} in the
page. It worked.
On the other hand, I am also facing the same problem as yours on New
Messages. I am also not finding any Message though WikiEd puts it on
my pages YOU HAVE A NEW MESSAGE...
