While prepairing my final exams and the presentation at the "6th International Conference on New Educational Environments", working out what to write my master thesis at DERI about, I became registered developer (means: CVS write access) to another Free Software project: Moodle.

Moodle is a Learning Management System (LMS) for online courses, grounded in "social constructionist pedagogy", and while it's not actually state-of-the-art as far as technology is concerned, it seems like it's very much what users -say: teachers- want. My little company is currently working on the assessment module and the integration of IMS/QTI 2.0, "virtualization" and an alternative Flash user interface to some parts of it for a leading Swiss e-learning provider.

There's not much news atm, I'm just busy, finishing old projects (such as CWSDL for CB-SeC..), the exams - and acquiring new projects, of course. You can expect more frequent blogging again after 2004/10/10. I have to read quite a lot these days, but I rather want to write, and not only software. I want to change that ratio between input and output soon again.

If you want to read something else from another arrogant geek in the meantime, read the famous Aaron Swartz, he's new at Stanford and delivers a daily wonderful analysis of the kids on campus over there.
