My place to show, try, play, vent and maybe make something useful, yet beautiful. Practically everything I have done in the last 10+ years is documented and accessible from here. Enjoy.

ALPECOLe As part of the co-ordination team, I edited texts, tested and evaluated the online course from instructional design and usability perspectives and presented the project at national and international e-learning conferences and events. I was also responsible for the training, technical support and co-ordination of a team of web-assistants and the administration of a test-server during development. Currently, my work involves updates, corrections and conversion of the course from HTML to XML using eLML. |
Using data on lessons within the online course content for ALPECOLe stored in XML documents, I created a visualization of the XML data using PHP5, SVG and DOM to generate the graphical navigation trees used in the project. This would allow project participants to view all the lesson trees and the make up of each lesson in one place. To create a visualization of the proportion of mandatory vs. optional content within each lesson of the course, I combined SVG and XSLT. |
