A Personal Transfer: From Stoas Learning to Shell International
I am moving from Stoas to Shell
Ever since February 2007 I have been working as an e-Learning consultant and Moodle evangelist for Stoas Learning, the Dutch Moodle partner. From May 1st, I will start in a new role at a different company. I will become a Blended Learning Adviser at Shell International.
Stoas has been a a wonderful employer for me. They have given me a lot of opportunities and trust, enabling me to learn a lot and pursue the things that I find interesting. I have had the chance to do exciting projects for interesting clients (e.g. the Council of Europe, the EO, ABN Amro and Shell), work with some great colleagues and connect with the larger Moodle community. It wasn’t an easy choice to leave…
However, I am excited at the opportunities that I will have at a large multinational like Shell. In this role I will be doing a couple of things:
- Build the capacity for blended learning in the Group
- Be the guardian for Shell’s global Moodle implementation
- Design exciting learning events that impact the business
- Facilitate and moderate Shell’s global community of learning professionals
It is my ambition to stay engaged with the Moodle and edublogger communities through writing this blog: I realise that the only way for me to maximise my potential in this new job is to share as much as I can of what I do and be in many external dialogues. Please tell me when you feel I am straying too far from that goal.
