= Cheri MacLeod's Profile =

Hello everyone. I work in the teaching and Learning Centre at College of the NA – Qatar [on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula]. I have been attending Open Access Week online events at Athabasca University and heard Dr. Wayne Mackintosh [founder of WikiEducator] speak. He mentioned this course so I decided to get involved because I like the whole project and love working collaboratively. I am not new to wikis but am here to share and learn, learn and share. Perhaps we could call this ‘shlearn’?

Learning Contract Ideas : Wiki for use ...

 * 1) by faculty at my college who need assistance finding OER
 * 2) as a learning tool about the use of wikis in education
 * 3) as a community portal for my institution or my department
 * 4) as a OER portal page for collaboration on OER projects - have to look at examples and templates
 * 5) as a revamp of a wiki I already have - Collaborative Learning Tools

My wiki projects

 * October 2010: I registered for eL4C46, a Learning4Content workshop to learn wiki skills.
 * OER Learning Resources for CNA-Qatar Context
 * My WikiEducator facilitators: Ramesh Sharma and Patricia Schlicht

Cheri, I see you have an interest in languages, as well, and great training and tech skills too. Wow. I had a student from SA and he spoke about Qatar and how open and developed the country has become, true? It looks truly beautiful from you pics.
