Profile of Vincent Jansen

 * Executive Summary**

My current role as Director of Information Services at Lower Canada College includes leadership and management responsibilities to weave emerging technologies in all 'electronic' and 'digital' processes into the teaching and learning framework. Key roles include consolidating data warehousing, continued implementation of the 1:1 open platform laptop program, develop scalable and sustainable infrastructure and optimization of work flow processes. The multifaceted role includes curricular integration and professional development as key strategies leading to success.

This past year I held the Math, Science & Technology Consultants position at LEARN Quebec. This role gave me opportunities to develop curriculum and integrate technologies for all English language students in the province (approximately 110,000), working collaboratively with others to develop leading edge learning tools and resources for improving student outcomes.

Previously I held the role of consultant/ business analyst for Serco Learning, a UK company that provides SIS administrative solutions for K-12 and higher education. Prior to joining the business ranks I have been in public, independent and international education for 23 years. My career includes a ten-year international school overseas experience in locations such as Kenya, Scotland, Philippines and Belgium. I have held senior administrative positions such as Director of Academics and Director of ICT, including chair of the ECIS IT committee for international school IT leadership.

I hold a Masters degree in Educational Administration (M.Ed. – McGill University), with a focus on educational technology, as well as a B.Sc. ( Biology & Chemistry) with additional teaching credentials. I have had the privilege of giving multiple presentations, conducting professional workshops, and during the summer of '07, I will be teaching a summer course for educators at Bishop’s University. I am also founder and CEO of Lunico Consultants which has a primary focus on educational resource planning and conducting information surveys and audits.

My educational focus is on professional development, resource optimization, 1:1 computing and true integration of technology in teaching and learning. I am constantly adapting models of integration and especially interested in the role of Web 2.0 tools as they can be implemented into learning environments to improve performance outcomes.
