Dear  Friends,

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.

May 2014

It was Steve and Minhaaj ur Rehman who started User Page Expo (UPE) in July 2008 to honour an exemplary WikiEducator every month. UPE is a community award to honour WikiEducator editors. Currently Steve is the President, New World University at Dominica. He is also working as an Education Specialist with MicroStrategy Inc in writing and revising textbooks used for instructor-led and independent study technical training courses. He has performed other roles as well like E-Learning Consultant, IT Instructor, DIrector of Online Education at Virginia International University and Director, E-Learning Services at Marymount University, USA. He is deeply involved with WikiEducator and OERs. He has been fairly active with iCommons, the most publicly inclusive of the Creative Commons affiliated organizations. He was part of WikiEducator's interim International Advisory Board, and in 2008 was elected to the first Community Council. He does not leave any chance to promote WikiEducator through our Ambassadors program. Here's his personal record. A strong supporter of free culture movement, especially the Open Access/Access to Knowledge movement, he has waived all claim of copyright (economic and moral) for all content by him to WikiEducator and put into the public domain.
Pl join us in congratulating and thanking Steve for starting (an ad-hoc conspiracy...lol...) and ever going strong The UPE.

with best wishes,

Dr. Nellie Deutsch and Ramesh Sharma

Congratulations Steve!

Many thanks to Ramesh, Nellie, and all for your kind words, especially
since I think that many people have much cleverer user pages than I do!
I'm just happy that you two have kept the "conspiracy" running so much
longer and better than Minhaaj and I ever did!

Best wishes to all,

-=Steve=-
