Hi everyone,

My name is Ljubomir Zhivkov. I'm originally from Sofia, Bulgaria but at present I live in Berlin, Germany because I am studying macroeconomics and business administration at the Economics Department of the Freie Universität Berlin. I came to Germany as a student in 2001 after studying business administration for 2 years at the Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridsky”. Now I’m almost finished with my study in Berlin. I’m currently writing my diploma thesis about my native country, the Republic of  Bulgaria.

I have collected much experience in e-learning during my work in Berlin. I’m part of the university’s e-learning team which supports all departments and faculties and maintains the e-learning platform “Blackboard”. We are also maintaining the university’s content management system, which is the main internet presentation tool of my university.

Additionally, I work on the Elisa-project. When I first heard about it in march 2006, I decided to take part in it, because of the project’s strong focus on the East-European countries, which my native country
belongs to.

I was at the same time a coordinator during the bulgarian tele-seminar between Sofia, Berlin and Athens and a lecturer: together with
Vasiliki Giannikopoulou we presented to the Bulgarian Tutors live the Elisa e-Learning Platform MOODLE.

I wish to all of You a pleasant work!

  Dear Olya,

During the last summer-term at my university I've visited a course which topic was "the aspects of European integration of the former communist countries" and especially the access to the information society "from the west". During this seminar I've heard about a comparing study which results showed, that Bulgarians are at one of the first places between many other east-European-Countries of using an Internet access.

I would like to give You a funny example also. This summer I visited a small village near the Border with Turkey ( Village named "Кости" (in Bulgarian), very small one with population ca. 150 people). This village is situated even almost behind the border. At almost every house in this village there was a cable internet access provided by a local internet firm.

So, I will generally agree to you that unfortunately there are many people and even firms who cannot have internet access because of the reasons which you described, BUT my idea is that the data you provided will be very very different in two or three months due to the falling prises of the internet access solutions. Soon we will reach the point (and I'm quite sure about that), when more than 50% of the people and more than 70% of the SMEs are going to have internet connection. And NOW is the very moment for us to prepare for it.

All the best

  Dear all,

I will totally agree with Jochen.
It is very important for all of us, who organize the upcoming seminar and collect its content to really know what your expectations of the training are. So please feel free to tell us your statements to the other Ilias' topics !

Hi everyone,

my name is Ljubomir Zhivkov, I am studying macroeconomics at the Economics Department of the Free University of Berlin. I came to Germany as a student in 2001 after studying business administration for 2 years at the Sofia University. I’m looking forward to seeing people again who I already know as lecturers from the “St. Kliment Ohridsky”-University. Now I’m almost finished with my study in Berlin. I’m currently writing my diploma paper about my native country, Bulgaria.

I have collected much experience in e-learning during my work in Berlin. I’m part of the university’s e-learning team which supports all departments and faculties and maintains the e-learning platform “Blackboard”. We are also maintaining the university’s content management system, which is the main internet presentation tool of the Free University Berlin.

Additionally, I work on the Elisa-project. When I first heard about it in march 2006, I decided to take part in it, because of the project’s strong focus on the East-European countries, which Bulgaria
belongs to. I’m very happy to feel like being connected to Bulgaria on this "strange" way.

I’m looking forward to the seminar week, when I can meet everyone of you personally.
