How Your
Nominee Has Shown Leadership Successfully Implementing Technology into
Instruction?
Marco Loche is the General Manager (CEO) and
Technical Director (CTO) of Capturator. He is an active member of the Moodle
community and a supporter of open-source and free technologies.
At Capturator he has always thought about technology
as a way for enhancing education. At Capturator, during the last ten years and
together with his partners, Marco has translated his vision into the CaLoGE
project, an authoring software specifically adapted for language learning. The
software is based on Java (J2SE), and allows to prepare, manage, generate and
package contents independently from the software environment in which they will
be used. The software enables thus to manage the entire life cycle of contents
independently from technological evolution.
Marco collaborates with my Department to install and
implement software for e-learning language courses. Contents for language learning produced by
Marco Loche’s company are compatible with all existing operative systems
(Linux, MacOS, Microsoft Windows) and web navigators (Chrome, Firefox, Internet
Explorer, Opera, and Safari). He is a highly competent and reliable person.
He created an authoring software specifically adapted
for language learning; he worked on complete language courses for English,
French, Spanish, Italian, Arabic and Chinese and produced an adaptive language placement test for
English based on the Item Response Theory and a system for online tutoring,
specifically adapted for Moodle.
