The students are trained in the use of new learning tools such as wikis, blogs, social networking, web 2.0 and e-Learning with different platforms (Dokeos, Moodle, eXe,…). This program is new at the HEP. I began with a first class of 14 students for the 2007 spring term and, due to its success with an average level of satisfaction of 80%, the course is now oversubscribed, with 37 students selecting it this term out of a maximum of 27 available places.

The Gymnase de Nyon is a sixth form college of 1,400 students aged 16 to 20. I am responsible for mentoring new teachers during their probationary period.

I will contribute to the design, development and implementation of an ePortfolio system, such as Mahara. This will involve helping the teachers to identify the learning outcomes to be integrated, establishing how the system will fit in with academic processes and how the technology will work within the virtual learning environment Moodle. The project must help students to identify their areas of strength and weakness, crediting them for prior learning and experience and meeting competencies that are proving difficult, with the idea of being incorporated in a postgraduate syllabus that emphasises professional learning and integrates authentic simulation. I will have also to take into account the continuing rising number of students and try to reduce the overall cost of the project.
