==My Works==
Hi, my real name is Cormac Lawler. I've been closely involved with setting up and developing Wikiversity. This process has been the focus of my ongoing PhD (which began in September 2006, and which I will be submitting early 2011): to participate in the definition of what this space is, what it means in the context of the wider world of education, and what its opportunities and limitations are.

I'll be appearing on [[Antiques Roadshow]] on the show premiering July 12, 2008. I'm showing some [[Woody Guthrie Jr.]] drawings my Dad was given when he interviewed Woody for a [[New York Times]] story in 1989 or so. I really miss my daddy too. He had a laugh that could make the birds sing.

==User.jpgordon@gmail.com==
I'm using a [http://cormaggio.org/ blog] and a [http://www.cormaggio.org/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page wiki] to help document and facilitate my research, but I also intend to carry out much (if not most) of this on Wikiversity itself, particularly as we have developed this project with the potential for actually ''doing'' [[Wikiversity:Research|research]] (though these [http://beta.wikiversity.org/wiki/Wikiversity:Scope_of_research/En guidelines] still need to be developed).
<big>'''H'''</big>i everyone! My name's Josh Gordon. I've got a ton of different interests and possibly interesting experiences that might or might not result in useful and informative additions to Wikipedia. For example, I've worked at [[IMSAI 8080|IMSAI]] (my first job out of college), [[Autodesk]] (my longest job) and [[eBay]] (where I was Chief Engineer) as a [[programmer]]; I was lead trumpet for the [[Oingo Boingo|Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo]] for a couple of years in the '70s; I'm a jazz pianist and folk/blues guitarist; I've lived in [[New York City]], [[Alexandria, VA]], [[Munich, Germany]], [[Eugene, Oregon]], [[Tarzana, California|Tarzana]], [[Berkeley]], [[San Francisco]], and [[Carmel-by-the-Sea, California|Carmel-by-the-Sea]]. I moved to [[Las Vegas, Nevada|Las Vegas]] in early 2005; I split my time between Vegas and [[Kernville, California]], my wife's hometown. I spent many years on [[WELL|The Well]], for a long time as conference host of several of the most popular forums (Current Events and Politics, for example), and I'm an utter fanatic for encyclopedias and dictionaries of all sorts.  


I've collected comic books most of my life, though not much in the last ten years -- my old friends kept getting killed off or replaced with children, so to hell with it. I do have a nice collection of original art by [[John Byrne]], [[Neal Adams]], [[Scott McCloud]], and [[Chris Ware]]. I also collect photography, and have some lovely prints by [[Henri Cartier-Bresson]], [[Ansel Adams]], [[Edward Weston]], [[Ruth Bernhard]], [[Paul Caponigro]], and [[Diane Arbus]] (the "[http://www.usc.edu/schools/annenberg/asc/projects/comm544/library/images/528bg.jpg Jewish Giant]" was my cousin [[Eddie Carmel]]).
==Courses==
* I participated for a while in [[Action research/AREOL25|AREOL25]] (course home page [http://www.scu.edu.au/schools/gcm/ar/areol/areolhome.html here]), until I lost track of a few weeks' emails, and gave up. :-(
* Hoping to participate in David Wiley's [http://opencontent.org/wiki/index.php?title=Intro_Open_Ed_Syllabus Open Ed Intro course] - but didn't :-(
* [[Composing free and open online educational resources]] - beginning March 3rd 2008


<big>'''M'''</big>ostly I'm doing [[janitor]]ial [[Labor|work]] around here.It comes naturally to me; I was "code cop" at Autodesk and at eBay, so browsing other people's work is quick, easy, and pleasurable.
==Conferences==

I have been named a "monster admin" by a fellow editor at [[WP:RfAr]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration&oldid=47122411] -- I don't think it was meant as praise, though.

Greetings!

Hi, my real name is Cormac Lawler. I've been closely involved with setting up and developing Wikiversity. This process has been the focus of my ongoing PhD (which began in September 2006, and which I will be submitting early 2011): to participate in the definition of what this space is, what it means in the context of the wider world of education, and what its opportunities and limitations are.

Research

[edit]

I'm using a blog and a wiki to help document and facilitate my research, but I also intend to carry out much (if not most) of this on Wikiversity itself, particularly as we have developed this project with the potential for actually doing research (though these guidelines still need to be developed).

Bureaucrat

[edit]

I was made an English Wikiversity bureaucrat as a temporary measure on the project's first day, and held that lonesome position for quite a while (unnecessarily long as I subsequently found out), since when I've been joined by Sebmol. If you need any assistance, you can leave me a message on my talk page. If it's a general custodian (ie "admin") query, you might be better off with Wikiversity:Request custodian action, as this is monitored by all custodians, not just me.

Some things I'm interested in doing

[edit]
  • Write research-related guidelines (eg. Wikiversity:Research and on Beta)
  • Help out on providing a comprehensive and easy-to-follow tutorial on what Wikiversity is, and how you can contribute and/or benefit from it.
  • Help in providing a framework for building Wikiversity, which I don't really think exists yet (so far, it's a bit piece-meal, and particular learning materials are connected with particular pedagogies, without making that explicit)
  • Work on Media literacy (and all my other interests), hopefully learning about what will work on Wikiversity through that process
  • Metadata - what's happening on that front, I wonder..?
  • Participate in Topic:Audio Engineering - learn about making music
