The eLesson Markup Language (eLML) is an open source XML framework for creating electronic lessons. It is a "spin-off" from the GITTA project, a Swiss GIS eLearning project, and was launched in spring 2004. The eLML project is hosted at Sourceforge. The aim of eLML was to offer authors a tool that ensured conformity to pedagogical guidelines.

The didactical fundament of eLML is the pedagogical model called ECLASS (Gerson, 2000 [1]). ECLASS is an abbreviation for the following elements:

The original ECLASS model was slightly modified and e.g. additional elements like glossary, bibliography and metadata were added to be able to create a self-contained e-learning course. Furthermore the three elements clarify, look and act together form a so-called "learning object" and these elements can be used in any sequence order and can even be used multiple times within one learning object. This allows that an author can start with an example (look) and then follow by explaining the theory (clarify) behind it or the other way round. Also the uncommon but sometimes very successful approach where the student starts with a short exercise (act) and only after having tried out some solutions can read the theory (clarify) behind it and see some real world examples (look). The ECLASS model is on one hand flexible enough to represent different learning scenarios and to meet all the requirements needed by the creators of the e-learning lessons but ensures on the other hand that the content complies with the defined didactical guidelines.

Simon Gerrans (born 16 May 1980) is an Australian professional road bicycle racer, who currently rides for the Australian UCI ProTour team, Orica-GreenEDGE. Gerrans is the 2012 Australian National Road Race Champion, having won the title on 8 January 2012.

Gerrans was born in Melbourne, Victoria and grew up in Mansfield, Victoria.

He took up cycling after injuring his knee and speaking with his neighbour, former Yellow Jersey holder Phil Anderson whom he credits with introducing him to the sport. Gerrans was an Australian Institute of Sport scholarship holder.

In 2002, he finished fifth in the senior Australian National Road Race Championships, and took the under 23 title. He went on to ride as a trainee with the Carvalhelhos-Boavista team, based in Portugal from 1 September 2003, and then as a trainee for the AG2R Prévoyance team from 1 September 2004. He turned professional in 2005, staying with AG2R Prévoyance, and participated in his first Tour de France in the same year.

Gerrans underwent surgery at a hospital in Nice following a heavy fall in the GP d'Ouverture la Marseillaise in February, 2006. A pin was inserted into his shattered left collarbone and a screw put into his broken right shoulder, and had stitches in his head. He resumed training three weeks later and went on to represent Australia at the 2006 Commonwealth Games in Melbourne.

Jordy van Loon (born 16 June 1993 in Voorburg) is a Dutch child singer who reached number one in the Dutch Single Top 100 with his single "Verliefdheid".

Jordy, who has ADHD, is the middle son of Daniëlle and Dennis van Loon and lives in Zoetermeer. He has two older brothers and two younger sisters. In 2006, his aunt entered him in a local radio contest in which he had to send in an original answering machine message for the phone of his idol Frans Bauer. He won the competition and got to sing Bauer's song "Hé lekker ding" together with Bauer during a meet and greet.

In an episode of Paul de Leeuw's television show Mooi! Weer de Leeuw, broadcast on 5 April 2008, van Loon was in the audience with his teacher Mr. Rol. Unbeknownst to him, Mr. Rol had sent in a wish to the program. He wanted to literally execute the Dutch idiom "iemand achter het behang plakken" (commonly used to describe an action one would like to perform on an annoying individual) and paste Jordy behind a piece of wallpaper because he sang too often in class. While being glued behind the wallpaper, he performed the Wim Sonneveld song "Het Dorp" (in English: the village) which received loud applause from the audience and resulted in 6 different companies calling in to offer him a record deal; he eventually decided to sign with producer Jan Zwarteveen from JAZ Music who watched the show from the South of France.
