Biography

Currently I am leading the learning part of an InnoEnergy project that alleviates skill and competency gaps by combining Artificial Intelligence (AI), learning analytics and learning design. This project combines the expertise of people working for InnoEnergy and many European University partners working on renewable energy (KTH Sweden, UPC Spain, KULeuven Belgium, a.o.).

Since 1999, I have set-up, coordinated and developed several online, blended and mobile learning projects, always with a focus on participation and durability. These projects involved partners and individuals from both the Northern (Canada, United States, Italy, Belgium, Ireland, Germany, UK) and Southern regions (South-Africa, India, Peru, Morocco). As an avid enthusiast of open science, I am an active international speaker giving keynotes, guest lectures, as well as invited and peer reviewed presentations. As I believe in the benefit of dialogue, I often gain energy from providing and receiving knowledge input through seminars, SIGs and workshops.   

My core sentiment on learning is: “I have come to realize that there is no single solution for all. The diversity which is at the core of nature’s success, is replicated by the diversity in learning to achieve learning success in humans”. I love exchanging ideas, so feel free to talk to me.
