Thank You Wayne for your kind words of encouragement and recognition. I am very happy to be a part of this dedicated community of teachers and educators. It was a very nice learning experience to facilitate one F2F workshop in Gargi College, India and two online workshops. Both modes gave me the opportunity to add my own innovations too.
Gargi College faculty are a whole team of wikieducators after the workshop. As the undergraduate admissions process has started, I am very proud to report to this community that the Gargi College prospectus has a write up on OER and WikiEducator. This potentially reaches about hundred thousand admission seekers for this year in Delhi University. It was a nice learning experience to be a facilitator for EL4C26 and EL4C27 with Nellie. We clicked as a wonderful team together. (Thanks Nellie!) I would like to congratulate Nellie, Gladys, Benjamin and Rima for holding the record of facilitating EL4C25, the largest workshop till now.
