Encyclopedias

[edit]

I've had a love of encyclopedias ever since hearing about an autodidact who read the whole set of World Book Encyclopedia's cover to cover whilst living in a tent in remote North-Western Australia in the 1960's. Now I have visions of millions of people in developing countries creating a revolution by accessing and writing in places like Wikipedia on $100 laptops.

Web2.0

[edit]

In 2005, I began incorporating Web2.0 tools such as VOIP, social bookmarking (del.icio.us), community photographs (Flickr), RSS Feeds, wiki (Wikipedia, DokuWiki) and other open source methods into academic teaching, research and internet publishing.

Wikiversity

[edit]

I make most of my Wikimedia contributions to English Wikiversity.
