W elcome to the New Age Classroom
 * Sushumna Rao **

Being a science graduate and discontinued D Pharma student, I developed a lot of interest and inclination towards computers. I choose to do a Travel Management course from IATA. I worked for a very short period in Cox & Kings and Delta Airlines General Selling agent's office as a ticketing staff. Working there with database and server made me more inquisitive towards computers and technology. While attending my family I could pursue a career in media for 10 years as it gave me flexible time options.

My intention is always to work from wherever I am ( aka remote / telecommute). Pursuing my career in media, I could complete my Masters in Computer Applications( Madhurai Kamaraj University), PG Diploma in E-learning (Online from IGNOU) and Translation Techniques in Telugu ( from UoH). When I saw my daughter's CDs which we bought from USA (Dr. Seuss's ABC, Microsoft Encarta etc), I gave it a thought and started developing content for my daughter using software like Microsoft Frontpage, Photo Draw, CorelDraw, Gif animator and Power Point etc. When I started working as a content writer, I understood that there is a scope in e-content development and worked as a trainee Instructional Designer and from then onwards, there is no looking back.

Now I am a prospective Moodle Administrator and Resource Person for E-Content Development.

This is just a small brief...:) I can go on...it might look like a story though...I promise it will be interesting!

My Profile

As part of this workshop, I would like to develop a course on how to use various tools to develop interesting yet engaging E- Content.
