Students and lecturers

At the moment we are 9 students and about 6-7 teachers delivering lessons for the course Pedagogy in Open Learning. To be more known to each other I take the initiativ to a slight presentation of each other. I will start with myself and hope the rest of yours will make a similar contribution (see below)

Work: I have been working at Sør-Trøndelag College, Computer Engineering Departement for 13 years by now. The main task has been educating engineers in Computer Engineering, a three years study. Courses I have taught are Operating Systems, Computer Graphics and Introduction to Computers. The last 2-3 years i have been more and more involved in Open Distance Education through the norwegian NITOL-project.
Personal: I am 46 years old and live in a house about 10 km south of Trondheim together with wife, three daughters (14, 17 and 20 years), two cats, and a guinea pig and some fishes in an aquarium.
Hobbies: In early days I was very interested in photography and doing own work in the darkroom, but today I have very little spare time to do work in darkroom. Very much of my work these days deals with ODL, Internet and teaching. But I try to find time for some fishing, mostly standing on a rock at the beach using a casting rod.

Your name
Something about you

Send me your text and eventually a picture, and I will put both to this Webpage. The purpose is of course to get more familiar with each other. I hope both students and lecturers will respond.
