I love my Kindle as much as I am able to love a physical object, and I honestly prefer reading in a Kindle than reading a “real” book. Ever since the first time I ever heard the idea of e-readers, I already knew that I would love them, and it never even crossed my mind […]

EC-TEL 2013: wrap up
From September 18th to 20th, I had the opportunity to join the Eight European Conference on Technology Enhanced Learning (EC-TEL 2013), in Paphos, Cyprus. While the main discussions were not directly related to my own research at the moment, it was certainly productive to hear what is going on in the field of TEL, to […]

And this is where it starts…
I am one of those people. Yes, those, who consider themselves writers. Even though I have never published anything I have written – other than, of course, academic work – I know I am a writer. Because I see my world in prose. When I am especially happy, the prose turns into poetry. I describe […]
