Hi!

 I come from the Czech Republic.

We are currently trying to introduce our students into the world of digital portfolios and their use in the profession of a teacher. So I am all eager to explore Mahara and find out if this is what I have been looking for!

Mahara and Moodle advocate / Mahara French translator.

I am Director of ICT and a teacher of Economics at the Gymnase de Nyon - a further education college of 1400 students between 16-20 years old - in Canton de Vaud (Switzerland). Since 2007, in addition to my day-to-day teaching at the Gymnase, I have been lecturing on new technology and e-Learning methodology at the State's Teacher Training School (HEP) in Lausanne.

In my school, I am particularly active in alternative learning strategies and I have introduced a course about "Learning to learn". This is a programme given by three colleagues and myself, that helps students with a range of learning difficulties to discover and learn strategies for improving their way of learning and helping them to understand new methods of knowledge acquisition. Furthermore I have developed and I am maintaining our eLearning services on a Moodle platform with more than 45 lessons given in blended learning conditions (part in class, part distance learning).

I'm the President of Learning Agents, an independent producer of rich media e-learning solutions for workplace training, career development and professional development.

Among other things, Learning Agents is the producer of Career Portfolio Manitoba, a lifelong solution to career development using Mahara, working with Keystone Adult Education Services Inc., with funding from Workplace Education Manitoba and WPLAR.

My Twitter ID is donpresant and I tweet a lot about eportfolios and Mahara.
