Learning and teaching with ICT

This is the website of Reinder Vrielink

I’m interested in the role of information and communication technology (ICT) in learning and teaching. Learning to practise non-violent communication is one of my goals. Beside that I love soccer, nature, walking, cycling, travelling, music, and my family. My place of residence is Deventer, a small old town in the east of the Netherlands (EU).

I studied biochemistry (1973, HBO-b, Bachelor degree/Antonie van Leeuwenhoek Institute Delft), physics and chemistry (1981, MO-A, Bachelor degree/Rijks Universiteit Utrecht) medical and biological techniques (1983, Bachelor degree NGLOB/Amsterdam) and e-learning, multimedia and consultancy (2005, Master degree/Sheffield Hallam University).
In my work experience, I started as a biochemical laboratory assistant at the Psychiatric Hospital Endegeest in Oegstgeest where we did research on brain metabolism which is related to Parkinson’s disease. At the same hospital, I taught nurses laboratory skills. In 1978, I made a transfer to a secondary school in Deventer where I taught sciences for about ten years.
After that, I became a headmaster in three different secondary schools. During 2006/2007, I worked as an interim teacher/developer at NHL University in the Netherlands at the Institute of Technology, department of Communication & Multi Media Design where I developed the minor in education and multimedia. Since November 2007, I am manager of education at the School of Advanced Policing, Police Academy of the Netherlands and senior advisor in ICT learning and teaching. I also guided the school’s introduction of a new educational administration and planning system. At the school of Policing I am a member of the project team to develop a new curriculum: MBO all-round police officer in three years.
Beside my job and since 1983, I have my own (small scale) business called Paul Revédi Consultancy where I first started as a publisher, nowadays (2010) as coach, trainer and consultant in non-violent communication and ICT learning and teaching. I am married and I have three children and four grandchildren.
