Hi everyone The OER Foundation is proud to announce the appointment of Jim Tittsler as Lead Software Engineer.
Jim is a well-known member of the WikiEducator family. He has been providing WikiEducator with sterling technical support as a community volunteer. Jim has over 30 years experience in computer hardware and software design, and his technical leadership of the eXeLearning project will be invaluable as we move forward with the technical refinements and innovations required of a dedicated educational wiki. With generous funding support from the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, the OER Foundation is now able to support WikiEducator with an exciting project to improve OER content interoperability between the MediaWiki and the Connexions technology platforms. With thanks to open source software and open content licensing WE will demonstrate that in open education "t*he whole is greater than the sumof its parts*." Jim -- from all of us at OERF and WikEducator -- congratulations on this new position and a heartfelt welcome!!!! We look forward in joining you on this exciting journey to make the future happen :-) (With apology for duplicate postings) -- Wayne Mackintosh, Ph.D. Director, International Centre for Open Education, Otago Polytechnic, New Zealand.
