2013
A showcase website for a young woman, all
together a story-teller, story-writer, script-writer
and actress.
2012
A didactic website for architecture students willing
to improve their English while absorbing
professional skills.
2008---
The official site of the community I live in. As a
member of the municipal council I am in charge of
communication, and of building and maintaining
this resource. What I enjoy most is interviewing
the oldest native families —les Gens d’ici— and
see how their stories build up the history of the
village and the more generic History of this
country.
1998-2009.
As an IT teacher trainer for vocationally-oriented
language learning (VOLL) for the ECML, the Graz-
based language training facility of the Council of
Europe, I decided in 1998 to create a site where
everything we created with the participants of the
various workshops would be uploaded and
organized. Some of the output definitely is
obsolete, but the whole provides an interesting
perspective on how my colleagues and I used IT
for a better teaching/learning experience over the
years. The resource is hosted by the ECML.
2002---
As a teacher of English I created this website to
help my students build certain learning strategies
—reading the press, oral communication— but
also to publish their best productions, which are
still available year after year.
2000-2010
As a teacher of English at Université Pierre
Mendès France, then director of the Center for
Modern Languages, I created this website to
provide our language students with all the
necessary information they required to function
with us. It was also a place of exchange with
university language colleagues. The site was
dismantled immediately when I retired, but I
managed to transfer some of the durable
resources onto the blue site above.
2001-2003
One of the ECML workshops was organized in
Moscow by Irina Smoliannikova, our Russian
colleague. On this occasion I started formalizing
web using strategies and the end result was
floated as a project on the ECML site and
published as a CD in 2003. Again as IT is
advancing at such a dynamic pace most of the
input is obsolete, except perhaps the webtraps
and email rules sections.
2003
This was commissioned by the then ICC
(International Certificate Conference) Director
Anthony Fitzptarick. I designed the homepage and
graphic chart, but the whole project was eventually
abandoned. It’s still hosted on my private website,
though.
2007
As a pilot at the Aéroclub du Dauphiné I took part
in a committee whose role was to examine how to
create a website showcasing the club, its
resources, planes, environment and facilities. The
whole thing turned into a power struggle between
committee members and I quit —the committee,
not the club. They did keep some of my designs
though, notably the navigation bars and a couple
of planes, one used on hats and T-shirts and the
like. Still available here.
2004
My son Alban is an avid free diver. He created a
diving association in Lyon and organized various
events. He asked me to design a site for the club.
I was proud of the very simple concept and the up
and down diver with his huge monofin. Alban had
designed the swimmer’s silhouette. He wanted the
bubbles in the water to link to the various sections,
which I happily complied with (see here). Finally
the Board decided against the whole concept, and
opted for another. Club inner power struggle
again.
1996-2000
I was a teacher of English at Lycée Xavier
Marmier and decided to create a website for the
institution. Of course I focused on IT, English and
aeronautics. But also on an adventure undertaken
by one student girl in Chile and Argentine. Her
narrative is just amazing, I would hope it could be
published somewhere more visibly.
