RE: Introduction: Alexander Dawson

Hi Chris,

Training and certification seems interesting to me - so I'd be happy in that group. I've got a few ideas for materials that could be produced to help educators utilize the offered works and make it more useful to students (in connection with the outreach group), and plenty of thoughts regarding certification / accreditation - as and when we consider that side of things.


Regards,
Alex

I'm passionate about improving the education standards for Web workers worldwide, and the proposals outlined for this group closely match what I'd been wishing the W3C would get involved in, so hopefully I'll be able to contribute something useful to this community! I'm a self-taught, freelance Web Designer. I already write for a number of industry sites, have authored some books on Web design, and have participated in a couple of other projects (alongside starting a few of my own which are being built as we speak).
