Svend Andreas Horgen’s Summary
Very good understanding of several aspects of ICT, in particular programming (PHP, .NET), web design and web development, system design and operating systems.
Several years of experience from e-learning through both distance education and classroom teaching in higher education. A broad range of practically minded research on e-learning, especially on how to use ICT in a more pedagogical, creatively way.
Regularly invited to seminars and conferences to speak on "pedagogical use of LMS-systems" or other aspects of e-learning. Sharing teaching experiences is fruitful and stimulates my work as a teacher to experience even further.
Author of the first Norwegian book on PHP programming, 408 pages (Gyldendal Akademisk/TISIP) in 2004.
Have developed several courses for higher education: "Web programming in PHP", "Programming in Visual Basic .NET", "Web 2.0 and Ajax", and parts of the courses "Web technologies" and "Web programming in ASP.NET". I think security issues should be important aspects of any programming course.
Central in the development of a web based tool to support the life cycle of assessment with multiple choice tests.
In 2007, I was leading a project on how teachers can better use multiple choice tests in education. I have also participated in several e-learning projects.
I enjoy writing. I enjoy creating. I enjoy producing. My goal is high quality material, be it for learning, research, personal usage or just for fun. I often put my soul into my projects, and therefore find myself learning new things all the time. I am inspired by the "Web 2.0-way", creating, producing, organizing and sharing using blogs, wikis, podcasts and a handful of useful web services to support my work. Efficiency and quality is important.
If I were to change job sometime, I would like to be able to use my creative skills and my understanding on ICT to produce, develop and learn.
