I have a very strong belief in Open Educational Resources (OER) and their ability to assist in meeting the Millennium Development Goals (MDG). I am an educator with extensive experience in software development and in designing technical architectures to support strategy. The best way to get a sense of me is to visit my website; http://www.rawsthorne.org and if you want a sense of my views on development visit my rich media blog; http://criticaltechnology.blogspot.com.

Here is my vision for the tectonic shift.

How I can help

I believe their are three ways I could help in the development of OER;

  1. Team Lead / Technical Architect - taking the leadership / architect role in developing OpenSource software to support OER.
  2. Content Creation - creating learner centered content in the subject areas of;
    • Web 2.0
    • Education
    • Computer Science
    • Database Management
    • Small Business
    • Geography
    • Outdoor Recreation.
  3. Rich Media Developer - using multimedia tools to create podcasts, online video and rich media web pages.

I will be developing content within the WikiEducator site within these areas of expertise, if you require assistance with your OER projects, do not hesitate to contact me; Peter Rawsthorne

My Module Development

I've completed the development of Module Five (Database Management) of the Commonwealth Computer Navigator's Certificate

I continue the development of Module Three (Writer) of the Commonwealth Computer Navigator's Certificate

I've started to create some guidelines for the development of multimedia. I aspire for this to become a full course on authoring multimedia OER.

My WikiEducator Experiments

  1. An instantiation of some templates, so I can get a feel for these iDevices.
  2. How could a peer assessment iDevice be implemented within WikiEducator?
  3. How does the quiz template actually work?
  4. Is the full set of MediaWiki API's available on the WikiEducator site?
  5. Test a link to my contributions Special:Contributions/Prawstho

My WikiEducator Promotions

  1. I'm teaching into my daughters grade 7 class, where I will be introducing Wiki's for learning and I will make considerable reference to WikiEducator.
  2. I responded to a question on Wikiversity regarding the use of wikis within secondary education. I suggested they use wikieducator as their deployment site.
  3. I'm involved in an OER course and find myself often referring to WikiEducator in comments I make to other students.
  4. Today (Tuesday 18 March 2008) was the first time I evangelized the benefits of WikiEducator on a discussion forum. It surprised me how committed I am to this project...
  5. I met with the Director and Assistant Director of Island Pacific School to discuss the idea of students developing K12 OER. They really liked the idea, so the journey begins.
