My Reflection

I am interested in collaborative learning. I think WiKis can easily accommodate this type of learning. I also, believe that collaborative learning which encourages diversity and incorporates different perspectives that participants may have creates a more richer form of knowledge. This is evident in Open Software development environment where the final product at times is better than any closed software system.

As a lifelong learner, I would like to promote OER in particular for adult education as well as for developing countries where people may have limited resources.

Looking forward to learn and participate in this forum, Maryam
