About me
- Before taking my Diploma as a geographer I was involved with deploying computers in teaching at the external pageGeographischen Institut der Universität Zürich, and after completing my studies was active in university teaching.
- Following a stint in research I took a job at NET (later LET) in 2006 and have since then been responsible for support, training and further development in the context of our e-learning systems.
- In 2008 I completed a higher teaching qualification (Höheres Lehramt) in Geography and since then have also taught Geography part-time at external pageKantonsschule Wiedikon.
- In the context of 'Innovation management' I search out, evaluate and promote innovative teaching concepts at ETH - whether involving technology or not - and try to further develop ETH teaching in this manner.
