Hi everyone!

My name is Christine and I currently live in sunny Portugal, although my home is in Belgium (Antwerp). I have a degree in Economics and didactics. After working at a university as academic assistant and as a teacher in secondary schools, I decided to dive into the world of online learning, storytelling & writing. I am currently working as a freelancer for d-teach as an online teacher, but I also started working on the e-learning projects. Intrigued by this new world opening up, I am eager to learn more and therefore I am looking forward to this design lab!

Very much looking forward to meeting you all during the course! In my non-work life, I am mother to a VERY BUSY one year old son, lover of sport and dance (just for fun!) and once upon a time was a very passionate rugby player.

Hello everyone,

I'm excited to be part of this digital community as we embark on a journey to learn and create together. My name is Soraya, and I consider myself a maker at heart, often immersed in the world of fabrics and clothing. While my passion lies in tangible creations, I am no stranger to the digital realm.

I am joining this course to enhance my skills in course development, aiming to amplify the impact of my expertise and contribute to a more circular and sustainable future. My focus is on working with existing resources, fostering local, and social value chains.

Exploring the digital landscape isn't entirely a new adventure for me, but I thrive on learning new things. I am eager to bridge the gap between my hands-on experience and the vast opportunities the digital world offers. Lovely to arrive in this group, I love to be part of a community, I look forward to connecting and creating some positive impact together.

Hello everybody,

My name in Anke from Karlsruhe at the northern shores of the Black Forest. I am a digital enthusiast since the web was publicly available in the mid nineties. I have been working in digital business development, product development or start-ups ever since. Digital Learning, teaching people to use technology to their advantage and building (corporate) academies has always been a vital part of my roles. The last four years I build a start-up for AI Coaching. Now I moving more towards AI Strategy consulting and never being officially trained as an (online) trainer or teacher, I jumped on the opportunity to get a solid foundation in digital didactic. Looking forward to meet you all!

Hello everyone,

I'm Katja from Vienna. After 20 years in banking, mostly as an operational risk executive, I needed a change. Since one year I'm working in an Ed-Tech Start-Up as Customer Success Executive. My role is simply to ensure that our formats are well-organized, fun and that everyone is satisfied. I'm happy and excited to gain knowledge and insights into the e-learning design world and to refresh my knowledge on training methodologies in general and especially on the e-learning topic. As I'm not super digitally fit, I also look forward to improving in this area.

Apart from this I like to make my own creams and soaps and will soon move to a new flat.

Hi everyone,

My name is Nico and I'm working for the Dutch e-learning platform Pluvo (Pluvo.eu).

In my role, I assist various organisations in developing their online courses. This varies from (technically) building the courses to recording e-learning video's, giving workshops and offering support and advice. So quite some hands-on experience, but I lack an official educational background. So I am very curious what's more to learn about online didactics and instructional design. Nice to meet you!

Hello everyone!

My name is Davy, and I work as a technical writer and e-learning developer at SGS (www.sgs.com).

As a technical writer, I create all kinds of documentation, manuals, and guides for both internal and external clients.

Additionally, as an e-learning developer, I primarily develop e-learning courses for our internal training teams based on existing training materials for the laboratory inventory management software (LIMS). This entails (re)writing scripts, creating how-to videos, and producing illustrations.

So, a lot of hands-on experience on the development side of things, not that much on the analysis/design end.

By following this course, I hope to better understand the initial stages of the e-learning creation process, so I can be more successful in convincing the training teams to create more effective e-learning.

Hello, I'm Maria! I am the Educational Games director at the Greek Online School, where we teach Greek as a second or a foreign language. I’m into synchronous online education since 2015, initially as an online teacher. After becoming an Educational Games director, my main focus has been to bring cheer and excitement to our synchronous online lessons by making them more engaging. Being a big fan of interactive and engaging learning material, I involved educational games in my teaching from the very beginning of my teaching career and I was amazed at the results. My goal is to constantly improve the quality of my own lessons as well as help my colleagues create effective and engaging lesson plans.

Hello Everyone

My name is Lamise Inglis and I am the managing director of a non-profit organisation called iKasi Creative www.ikasimedia.com. We train unemployed youth who are from small towns and rural communities in South Africa digital media skills. Skills like creating sellable content with their mobile devices so that they can earn an income. Sorry that I am only going through all this now but it has beed a crazy busy time in our org so I am desperately trying to catch up what I missed.

I would love to learn more about designing e-learning courses. It is something that would make accessing youth in far lying areas easier. We have considered paying companies to create them for iKasi but it is a very expensive exercise and being a non-profit it is just unaffordable. So I would like to equip myself with the skills in order to assist in creating the courses.
