This week we welcome Tomaz Lasic to the Moodle HQ team in Perth, Western Australia. Tomaz has a Masters Degree in Education (Research) and will be working for Moodle HQ as an Education Researcher.
Congratulations to Tomaz on his new position, and congratulations also to Sam Hemelryk, who has been promoted to Senior Moodle Developer at Moodle HQ. According to Martin, Sam’s promotion is
due to his general pro-activity, quality code and good communication.
Other news from Moodle HQ is that the new office in Lord Street, Perth, has been painted orange.
More photos of the new office are available in Martin’s New Moodle HQ Flickr set.
this is great news! so we are officially putting more stress on the didactical side of moodle… which will be a big help for us to spread the word! Congratulations to Tomaz for the new job and to Sam for the promotion. Keep the good work going:-)
Excellent news :) Tomaz is going to love it and Sam’s prmotion is well deserved! Just one question – what exactly does an Education Researcher do -on a day to day basis? (On an aside – they say colours affect your mood- I wonder how it feels to work in a bright orange atmosphere every day? It’s obviously something positive :) )
I don’t know what an Education Researcher does but I’m hoping to find out when I talk with Tomaz. He’s also written a blog post about starting work at Moodle HQ: http://tomazlasic.net/2010/02/making-moodle-boring/
