We should have more professors like Rafael.
He not only jumped into the Wikipedia Education Program in Brazil, as he support open knowledge broadly and is aware of what he is doing. That is the kind of professor we should involve and form a strong global network of them to open up knowledge everywhere!

I love this quote from him: “Wikipedia makes it explicit how knowledge is built: a never-ending dynamic process with conflicting opinions in a lively discussion. Although this process is fundamental, it is ignored in the standard textbook-based class where knowledge is just given, considered as an absolute truth.”
