My profile
Hi--my name is Graham Stott.
Professional background
I'm teaching in Palestine at the Arab American University. (Hence the pal in aardvarkpal; don't ask about the aardvark!) At the moment I'm in the Modern Languages Department (i.e. English), but I'm involved in setting up our Department of Education and might transfer.
Education
Oxford, Southampton and Brigham Young for the standard degrees (BA, MPhil, PhD), then (somewhat more useful) an MSc from Lancaster in IT and Learning.
My interests
Professional
Eclectic. I guess my research specialty is early Mormonism, but I'm also working on other projects as varied as how to teach EFL reading skills in an oral culture, and how Pride and Prejudice revisits and updates Pamela.
Personal
Film. Getting to know Ubuntu 10.4 (Windows priced me out--but I'm developing a genuine--not sour grapes--preference for Linux). Lot's of little interests but nothing approaching the obsessive.
My wiki projects
- I registered for eL4C41, a Learning4Content workshop to learn wiki skills.
My optional community service (learning contract) project
 Agreement |
By signing this optional learning contract I will try to complete my training in basic wiki editing skills to achieve the status of a Wikibuddy. In return for this free training opportunity, I will give the gift of knowledge by donating or developing at least one free content resource licensed under a CC-BY-SA or CC-BY license which can be used by myself (and others) on WikiEducator. |
| Brief description of project | To be determined as I see how Wikis can be used. |
| Target date for completion | August 15. |

- Welcome Graham, Hope you enjoy the Wikieducator as much as we do!! Please now start adding details about yourself in the format provided. You can see my page or go to my discussion page through : Savithri Singh 18:58, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
- Hi Graham, Kudos for jumping in. Your user page is coming along. I read your introduction. I will try to ignore the "aardvark" :-), and kudos again for getting the picture in there. Day 4 of the tutorials presents info on basic text editing. As you become more skilled, feel free to revise and adapt your userpage as you like. Oh, and thanks for signing the learning contract--look forward to seeing your contribution. <smile>, --Alison Snieckus 01:34, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
- Hi. When you open the edit page the first thing that is there is the infobox. Why don't you fill in all the details of Name etc. Will look out!! Savithri Singh 18:49, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
