I am a Lecturer at Technical University - Sofia.  My teaching courses are in the areas of Electronics, Computer Science and eLearning. In my free time I am a freelance journalist and I contribute to ICT Media/Bulgaria.  My dissertation was focussed on  Exploration and Development of eLearning Platforms and in this way I became so deeply involved in eLearning. My blog is: mivanova.blogspot.com .
