Hi, I'm Mel. I'm experimenting with making Wikiversity my personal learning portal. I'm most active on the OLPC wiki but also hang out (much less actively) on en-Wikipedia and Appropedia.

Things I'm interested in
Short answer: everything.

"More Proper" comma-delimited list answer: Engineering (particularly electrical engineering and computer science) education, learning within hacker/wiki culture, and the intersection of the two; mathetics, autodidacticism and self-directed learning, polymaths/consilience, and interconnections between everything mentioned so far.

Long answer: User:Mchua/Interests

 * Making Wikiversity a personal learning space - what I'm trying to move towards as an experiment; one of my biggest blockers is the difficulty of syncing so many different notes across wikis.
 * Composing free and open online educational resources should read...
