Notes from my WikiNeighbours

(: Dear Godfred. Great user page and so creative, love it. Great work! I am sure you are going to advance to the next level very soon. Warm wishes--Patricia Schlicht 18:03, 2 September 2011 (UTC))

Hi Godfred! Its great to meet you on this space and seeing that you have "alternative assessment" listed in your projects. This sounds interesting to me because my current research is also on assessment in online higher education with a specific focus on seamless integration of assessment into teaching and learning...so I am trying to establish whether web-based technology can enhance how this happens in distance education setup. --Joyce W. G-G 21:38, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

Hi! Thank you for your warm welcome. Hoping to be in contact and share experiences in this amazing community of Educators. --Alejacha 22:31, 25 September 2011 (UTC)
