Hi Anil, Great work! A suggestion... I recall mentioning this idea to Leigh awhile back Maybe we could source some journalism types (i.e., students, or up and coming folks) to develop content for such a newsletter It would be a great experience for them, as well as building up a

Dear Anil, I'm involved with both UNV and PEOI and though both are very good there could be some issues with quality. E.g. in the case of UNV online translation review can be problematic/inexistent and in the case of PEOI, course author copyright might deter part of the peer-review benefits.

Maria - Dream on... This is the sort of thing that I have been working on as well. With my very WikiEducator-centric view, I think that wikipages might be part of the process. Paths, sequences, study guides, or some such designation could be created to include activities and links to other
