Hi Valerie, A great project. Clearly an inspiration for educators around the world to see how post-secondary students can contribute to the achievement of WikiEducators' global objectives, while learning during the process as part of their official course requirements.
I've provided a few reflective comments on the respective pages - -I wish I had more time :-(. Please let your students know that I saw many great ideas and we will definitely be in incorporating these when we revamp our "about" page and improve our marketing approaches. Thank you!!!! I hope that your students will continue to help us as we move forward in making the world a better place through open education.
