About Me
For ten years, I have been doing research and lecturing in Universities as a cognitive psychologist. Always had a passion for e-learning (won an award for a web-museum I designed in the mid 90s). Recently, I decided to make the jump and make e-learning my main activity.

When in the UK, I went Freelance and got involved in cool projects. Most of them had to do with producing software that let kids and educators create quality and original content with limited technical skills.

I recently moved to New Zealand and now work as e-learning developer for CWA new media, an e-learning services company.

    Having written (collaboratively) an essay on using wikis for collaborative learning, I guess I should join ;-). In case there is any interest, it is still online, oh, wait... on my wiki (follow the link).

    Hi Marielle! thanks for your comment - I think there's definitely some bad karma in the world of Blackboard, Desire2Learn, et al. - in a sense, the professors get want they want/deserve!

    what I mean is that even though it is very easy to add widgets to really enliven the Desire2Learn interface, at my school I would guess maybe 3% max. of faculty even do that much.

    I now rely on blogs, web publishing, etc. for my online courses and use the VLE only for quizzing and gradebook - the widgets at least help make that less tedious to visit each day! :-)

    A fascinating reading of your pursuits, Marielle. Some of my teachers (Virginia/U.S.) have been talking about comic strips/creation for sequence--I plan to check your link out.

    Hey Marielle,

    Thanks for the comment. I've been interested in learning objects, but havn't had much opportunity work with them, the lack of interest in mainstream education is a little disapointing. TLF looks great, how did you become invovled with the project?

    Thanks for the positive feedback on my blog...I really appreciate it.

    Your comic strip creator is cool. It would be fun to use in teaching dialogue to young writers. Any plans to allow people to upload their own images and/or save their creations?
