I'm Director of E-Learning at Marymount University just outside Washington, D.C. in the States, although my family and I ultimately plan to return to the stunning paradise of Dominica in the Eastern Caribbean.
I'm also on the International Advisory Board of WikiEducator, a project sponsored by the Commonwealth of Learning to build open educational resources.
For more information about me, please see my personal site.
Finally, I am a public domain enthusiast, and reject the legitimacy of intellectual property. As such, I dedicate all of my content on this site to the public domain. If you work in a "moral rights" jurisdiction that does not recognise my ability to do this, I encourage you to resist the tyranny that subjugates you by using my material as per my stated intentions, which is to say however you wish.

articles · Brazilian Limitations and Exceptions to Copyright: Impacts on A2K
by Paula Martini · voted on 10/1/2008 01:30 · 48 votes · 2 comments

When asked to take a guess if a certain act of reproduction is against the law, many Brazilian nationals would probably give a correct answer, but actual knowledge of the law – its text and possible...
articles · Accessing the Commons
by alli.fish · voted on 10/1/2008 01:30 · 28 votes · no comments
Despite its ubiquity and apparent familiarity, particularly to my anticipated audience, the commons is a multi-faceted concept that is difficult to define. In part, this difficulty stems from a mismatch between theory and practice. On the one hand, from an activist perspective, the idealised commons is a romanticised space accessible to interested parties who also manage this resource...
