I am very grateful to WikiEducator for showing faith in me and giving me such a warm welcome. I will try my best to live up with the expectations. My major goal for the summer is to see Peer Evaluation in use by the courses offered by OERu. I will try to follow an iterative and lean approach for its development for which continued feedback would be very helpful. Later on, I also plan to take on some of the larger technical challenges and possibilities of making OERu courses truly scalable, open and automated.
I am based out of India (Timezone UTC +5.5) and would be very happy to interact with the community in whatever way possible.
