About

My main interests are eLearning and mLearning, with a growing focus on augmented learning. Social media use and networking are essential for Technology Enhanced Learning, so envisioning the future of education by dreaming off an organic teaching/learning world.

I am the eLearning coordinator and researcher working at the Institute of Tropical Medicine Antwerpen (ITM) in Belgium. The mechanics of learning with technology really thrill me. I am also an international speaker who has been a consultant for eLearning start-ups (South-Asia, Africa, Latin-America) in addition to the eLearning projects within ITM. Working frequently with partners from developing countries I am involved in mobile and web-based learning projects in different low resource regions throughout the world.

I have been involved in eLearning since 1999 and I have a background in pedagogy and IT, which I combine to ensure optimal Technology Enhanced Learning for all stakeholders. I am a member of IAmLearn, the mLearnopedia content community, on the program committee of mLearn2012, member of the Advisory Committee of Online Educa Berlin, review and committee member of IADIS, member of the eLearning learning content community, author for Learning Solutions magazine, and member of the European Distance and eLearning Network.
