Brief Introduction

My name is Patricia Schlicht and I am Dr. Wayne Mackintosh's Programme Assistant and the Learning4Content Coordinator. In 2000, I joined the Commonwealth of Learning (COL) and have brought my international experiences from a variety of national and international governments and non-government organisations to COL. Since working at COL, I have gained extensive knowledge in open and distance learning (ODL) and technology-mediated learning, among many other things. I was introduced to the concept of Free/Libre Open Education in eLearning in May 2006. I have since gradually increased my knowledge in the area of e-Learning and are now actively involved in promoting WikiEducator and building capacity in the global communities. I am actively assisting Wayne in the facilitation of our WikiEducator online training workshops, and this only to name one initiative I am involved in.

Things I am proud of

• contributing to increase access to education using distance education and appropriate technologies in the Commonwealth and beyond;
• assisting to expand the scope, scale and quality of learning by learning and using new approaches;
• being part of a passionate and goal-oriented team of professionals that drive the development agenda forward;
• having found the field of work that really excites me because it makes a difference in the lives of others;
• being valued for my engagements and being part of a goal-oriented team;
