VLE consultants
As a free service, we are posting here information about freelance

by Direct Learn Services. However, as a small organisation ourselves,
we are happy to promote others. If you want to be included, email
us 150 words maximum, including a URL to your site. No images, please.
And no companies (other than one or two person organisations).

Niki Lambropoulos, Intelligenesis
|
For Intelligenesis Consultancy, the goal for Education
is to help the individual knowing her/himself and getting a
better life by behavioural change and personal development.
Technology-enhanced learning is the medium to help the individual
in this process of change and improvement. Technology-enhanced
learning requires inter-disciplinary approaches and cooperation.
Our goal is to match all stakeholders' targets, needs, suggestions
and visions. This is the reason why we have a more inclusive
and collaborative approach anchored in socio-technical systems
design for Human-Human and Human-Computer Interaction.
We target all areas on educational systems' development combining
instructional design and software engineering. We do enjoy
experimenting with new ideas rooted in solid theory as well
as stakeholders' involvement in design in initial analysis.
Our interests concentrate in systems' development for educational
working places; strategy and information architecture for
knowledge management, understanding target audiences needs,
tasks and goals and translating them into interactive concepts.
