Maarten Cannaerts’s Summary

I work in the field of knowledge management at KBC (ICT Services) in Leuven. My main tasks involve nonformal and informal learning processes, collaboration tools and methods for IT professionals in the company, and on providing novel technologies for a new generation professionals in a networked company and society.

Before my career in the financial world, I was active in the field of e-learning at an institute for higher education and within the Association Katholieke Universiteit Leuven. My main activities focused on the support of the campus management with regards to policies about technology-enhanced learning, and supporting faculty members with regards to instructional design.

At the Flemish Department of Education (Division for Adult Education) I was responsible for the communication between the department and the e-learning outsourcer for BIS Online (the official online distance education program of the Flemish Government), and responsible for the CVO-Online network. In this network, the Flemish schools for adult education can use the Learning Management System of the Department for their e-learning experiments.

From July 2007 to November 2008 I worked at the Flemish Department of Education in the Division for Policy Coordination. My work focused on policies with regards to life long learning, distance learning and technology in education in general.

My main interests go to knowledge management and technology, e-learning, distance learning and other forms of educational innovation and training. I am also interested in technology and more specifically how the internet has revolutionised the way we live, work, consume and have fun.
Finally, I find it important that our educational and training system adapts itself to the millenium generation of students and employees, and in particular that we make everyone more skilled in various information literacies.
