Ramesh Sharma
The WikiEducator User Page Expo ("UPE" to its friends) is an ongoing event to acknowledge WikiEducator user pages that are particularly informative, innovative, visually appealing, or otherwise just plain clever.
September 2014
Akash Agarwal
is a third year student at IIIT Hyderabad, India pursuing B.Tech + MS
in Computer Science and Engineering. His association with OERu and WikiEducator has been due to his desire to contribute to the Open Source Movemet and thus as part of 2014 Google Summer of Code he took the initiative to work on a Peer Evaluation
project. He believes in bringing change to the conventional education
systems. He noted that millions of aspirants appear for entrance
examination for Engineering Courses and only a select can get admission
to the top tier universities. Observing many such aspirants to
Engineering Courses, he felt the need for making education to be open
and collaborative (rather than being competitive and only accessible by a
few people). As a result he started working on a Peer Evaluation
project for WikiEducator as a part of Google Summer of Code.
WikiEducator Peer Evaluation is a minimalistic tool that can be used for
student/learner peer review and self evaluation. It can be integrated
to wiki content or can be used as a standalone tool. Please visit Peer Evaluation project page to understand more about it.
Please join us in congratulating Akash for being UPE winner for September 2014!
with best wishes,Dr. Nellie Deutsch and Ramesh Sharma
