At first I must state that ideas presented in introduction about open educational material are pretty much similar to mine. This was comforting, I am on the right track. Several years I have been pondering over the current situation where the wheel gets re-invented every year. I have been experimenting my ideas through projects relating to my musical interests. I have been following closely pioneers of oper resource creators, GNU for example. The vision on making the world as one educational resource provider is inspiring.
My interests to participate in
Composing free and open online educational resources
are partly professional but mainly personal. I work as a new media lecturer in University of applied sciences in Joensuu, Finland. I have always been a supporter of open software and now open course material also. I have my own lab where I have been starting open projectes recently with my students.
