About me
I am Chapter Lead of Creative Commons South Africa, and I have been deeply engaged in recommendations to Parliament regarding sorely-needed Copyright reform in terms of the Copyright Amendment Bill, and actively advocates for tax policy changes in order to enable more open educational resources to become available at no additional cost to the fiscus while enabling South Africa's commitment to UNESCO in line with the Recommendation on OER.I have worked on policy recommendations relating to the Ethics of Open Sharing, and together with the Wikimedia Foundation, initiated discussions, and edit-a-thons to improve the quality and quantity of information on Wikipedia relating to OER and the CC License Suite and Public Domain Tools. The Commonwealth of Learning have engaged me to facilitate the creation of policies on Open Education, Employability. and Hybrid Flexible Learning at the Namibia University of Science and Technology, and I have consulted with regard to the design and development of Open Education Resources on an Open Source Learning Management System, looking to incorporate Gamification, Micro-Learning, Co-operative Learning practices into the design in relation to educational affordances, with a strong focus on an adapted 6 C’s premised on the importance of Psychological Safety. I have also piloted a MoodleBox Project (The Moodle LMS ported to a Raspberry Pi) supported by Siemens Stiftung and Creative Commons for under-resourced schools with low connectivity and intermittent electricity.
