His association with OERu http://OERu.org and WikiEducator has been due to his desire to contribute to the Open Source Movemet and thus as part of 2014 Google Summer of Code https://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/homepage/google/gsoc2014 he took the initiative to work on a Peer Evaluation http://wikieducator.org/Peer_Evaluation project. He believes in bringing change to the conventional education systems. He noted that millions of aspirants appear for entrance examination for Engineering Courses and only a select can get admission to the top tier universities. Observing many such aspirants to Engineering Courses, he felt the need for making education to be open and collaborative (rather than being competitive and only accessible by a few people).

WikiEducator Peer Evaluation is a minimalistic tool that can be used for student/learner peer review and self evaluation. It can be integrated to wiki content or can be used as a standalone tool.

An ardent fan, she expresses in her blog, ...I find that wikieducator is a great place to store resources and is extremely time efficient. Once I had mastered the ability to set up new pages and edit them then I am able to tweak and add information so that my lesson plans and resources improve every time I present a particular unit to my class. I also really enjoy capturing resources on video and photos as we do a lot of stuff that is practical and interesting.These resources become links in the wikieducator to support ideas or explain concepts for future students.Another great benefit is if a student misses a class then I can direct them to the session stored on the wiki.

[WikiEducator] WikiEducator User Page Expo (UPE) Winner for July 2014: Alison Snieckus
Dear Friends, The WikiEducator User Page Expo http://wikieducator.org/UPE (UPE to its friends) is an ongoing event to acknowledge WikiEducator user pages that are particularly informative, innovative, visually appealing, or otherwise just plain clever. We are happy to announce the winner for July 2014. She is Alison Snieckus. Lets meet her :-) July 2014 http://wikieducator.org/File:ASnieckus.jpg Alison Snieckus http://wikieducator.org/User:ASnieckus is a trained educational measurement specialist. 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!

[WikiEducator] WikiEducator UPE March 2014 Community Award: Honouring Sir John Daniel, O.C.
Dear Friends, March 2014 http://wikieducator.org/File:John_Daniel.jpg UPE is a community award to honour WikiEducator editors. In exceptional cases we may recognise visionary leaders who have contributed to the success of the community. Sir John Daniel, O.C. served as President and C.E.O. of the Commonwealth of Learning (COL) from 2004 to 2012. The formative years of the WikiEducator project were nurtured by the COL. Sir John provided valuable advice and strategic direction at the inception meeting for the OER universitas (OERu) advising that the fledgling network should be open but tough. On November 1, 2013, he officiated at the launch of the OERu, an innovative education system to revolutionise tertiary learning. On 30 December 2013 the Governor-General of Canada named Sir John Daniel as an Officer of the Order of Canada in the New Year's List. Sir John received this prestigious award for his advancement of open learning and distance education in Canada and around the world. Sir John Daniel was educated at Christ's Hospital and pursued his full-time university studies in Metallurgy at the universities of Oxford and Paris. Later he demonstrated his commitment to lifelong learning by taking 25 years to complete a part-time Master's degree in Educational Technology at Concordia University. The internship for that programme, which took him to the UK Open University in 1972, was a life-changing experience. He saw the future of higher education and wanted to be part of it. This quest took him on an international odyssey with appointments at the École Polytechnique, Université de Montréal (professeur assistant/agrégé, 1969-73); Télé-université, Université du Québec (Directeur des Études, 1973-77); Athabasca University (Vice-President for Learning Services, 1978-80); Concordia University (Vice-Rector, Academic, 1980-84); Laurentian University (President/Recteur, 1984-90); The Open University (Vice-Chancellor, 1990-2001); UNESCO (Assistant Director-General for Education, 2001-04); and the Commonwealth of Learning (President, 2004-12). Among Sir John's 340 publications are his books Mega-Universities and Knowledge Media: Technology Strategies for Higher Education (Kogan Page, 1996) and Mega-Schools, Technology and Teachers: Achieving Education for All (Routledge, 2010). The three countries where he has lived and worked have each recognised his contributions with national honours: France - Ordre des Palmes Académiques (Chevalier-1986; Officier-1991); United Kingdom - Knight Bachelor (1994); Canada - Order of Canada (Officer-2013). Let's express our thanks, regards and respects to him for guiding the WikiEducator community in opening educational opportunity.
