Profile

Hometown:: Brussels, Belgium

School / Work Affiliation: E-learning developer, CWA New Media which does a variety of contract work for the ministry of education NZ

About Me:: For ten years, I have been doing research and lecturing in Universities as a cognitive psychologist. Always had a passion for e-learning (won an award for a web-museum I designed in the mid 90s). Recently, I decided to make the jump and make e-learning my main activity.

When in the UK, I went Freelance and got involved in cool projects. Most of them had to do with producing software that let kids and educators create quality and original content with limited technical skills.

I recently moved to New Zealand and now work as e-learning developer for CWA new media, an e-learning services company.

Comic Strip Creator in Flex

Tell me what you think of my Comic strip creator in Flex.

That's an early version, I am still early on in my learning of Flex. This was inspired by an ajax version at witty comics. Slow loading, I know. I need to spend a bit of time optimizing all these images as much as I can.

Flex to create learning resources

Started learning Flex. I had stayed away from Actionscript in the past. As the software I write tend to require a gui interface, I was not much enthused by the timeline and movie clip analogies.

With the move to AS3 (a proper OO language) and the introduction of a XUL like language to rapidly define the interface elements, they got me seriously consider taking the time to learn actionscript. After a few weeks looking into it, they got… Continue

Slideshows, 2.0 way

I gave a try to the slidy slideshow solution, to publish a slideshow directly in the browser, using web 2.0 technologies (in fact, strictly javascript -- see also S5, by Eric Meyer). The result is not bad at all... at least when viewing it on my large screen mac.

At 5:00am on July 2nd, 2008, Marielle said…: Thanks for the positive feedback on my blog...I really appreciate it.

Your comic strip creator is cool. It would be fun to use in teaching dialogue to young writers. Any plans to allow people to upload their own images and/or save their creations?

At 5:22am on June 30th, 2008, Marielle said…: Hi, Marielle! It is so rare that I run across someone with my name that I had to say hello! And I look forward to checking out your work, too.

At 12:30am on February 14th, 2008, Richard Laugesen said…: Hey Marielle,

Thanks for the comment. I've been interested in learning objects, but havn't had much opportunity work with them, the lack of interest in mainstream education is a little disapointing. TLF looks great, how did you become invovled with the project?

At 7:36pm on December 7th, 2007, Brian said…: A fascinating reading of your pursuits, Marielle. Some of my teachers (Virginia/U.S.) have been talking about comic strips/creation for sequence--I plan to check your link out.

At 11:35am on October 17th, 2007, Laura Gibbs said…: Hi Marielle! thanks for your comment - I think there's definitely some bad karma in the world of Blackboard, Desire2Learn, et al. - in a sense, the professors get want they want/deserve!

what I mean is that even though it is very easy to add widgets to really enliven the Desire2Learn interface, at my school I would guess maybe 3% max. of faculty even do that much.

I now rely on blogs, web publishing, etc. for my online courses and use the VLE only for quizzing and gradebook - the widgets at least help make that less tedious to visit each day! :-)

I am enthralled by your page, your studies, your obviously extremely active "mindset"! I want to talk to you more about ideas for class work. Your website is great!!!

Take care:)
