Thanks again to Christine for her interesting and insightful post and responses. I also want to extend a big thank you to Steve Foerster, “sehrmann,” Leigh Blackall, “prawstho,” “jsener,” and “Femina” for making this a great exchange, and other folks who have been reading along. The schedule of guest authors for the next 5 moths is great. On March 1st, Amee Godwin of OER Commons will be posting, which will be fantastic. The schedule for the series can be found on WikiEducator 2 .
