User:MJ1735

I'm Mike Johnson. I work in Cardiff University as an IT Lecturer - have done since 2001. In that time I completed a Masters and Doctorate in learning technology. My adopted native field is networked learning. I am not happy with the marketisation and objectification of knowledge. In my view, the profit maximising motive of markets is hostile towards maintaining scholarly values. Although not a prolific writer, what I do put out I try to make open (the Networked Learning Conference proceedings have always been published on an open access basis). Thus my interest in wikiversity, where I hope to pursue a project relating to a key text supportive of the most elevated educational aims (e.g. Bildung), i.e. Truth and Method. 1735 in my username relates to a special year in Welsh, and UK, history. It marks the start of the Great Awakening. I'm convinced that the world's biggest problem is inbred sin. I believe that changing people from the inside is our best hope for world peace, as a consequence of peace with our Maker.
