Moodle
Since 2006 I work full-time for The University of Auckland, New Zealand. One of my main responsibilities is to administer Moodle for the Faculty od Education. Moodle is an open source online learning environment.
Among many other tasks I support students and staff individually or in workshops and do research for educational virtual environments and blended learning.
I also developed Poodle (don't ask!), a student management system for automated synchronisation of the University's user and enrolment database with Moodle.
In 2009 I won the University of Auckland 2009 General Staff Excellence Award for Excellence in Innovation which is conferred by the Vice Chancellor annually to one staff member across the entire University.
