Welcome to my curriculum vitae. This is a simple account of a few things I have done. I have put it here because some users of the site wish to be reassured about who I am and what I write. I am currently in a full-time job which I enjoy. But I am able to work freelance in writing educational resources. I am also able to undertake consultancy through my current employers. I am particularly interested in developing educational materials for the Web, and in using Internet technologies for teaching and learning.
|
Please do not expect to find anything very exciting here. And this is not a record of everything I have ever done - I see no reason to inflict much personal information on my visitors, beyond a few basic facts. Writing this site is one of the many things I do out of working hours - and I have a life beyond it.
