Quick bio

Started life as a geologist and geophysicist and from there, during a bust in the oil industry moved into mathematical modelling of fluidized bed combustion and other research for a few years. Eventually became a teacher in an international school and have worked in Portugal, Singapore, New Zealand and China.

I have worked for many years as an examiner for the International Baccaluareate Organisation. More recently I have been an eLearning Manager and have developed Moodle courses for Te Wananga o Aotearoa, Dulwich College Beijing and Moodle PD workshops for Computer Science teachers the IBO. I have also developed online workshops as a complement to traditional f2f events (blended learning).

Co-author of two books on IB Computer Science.

I have also been a Project Manager for an eCDF funded project - the Te Ako Hikohiko Rexource centre. Presented at two NZ Moodle Moots.

Currently working as eLearning Coordinator at The Southport School in Queensland and developing Moodle and other Open Source resources. Currently running a pilot project in Moodle/Mahara integration and getting ready to launch Moodle 2 in the New Year.

This was a major project funded by the TEC ecdf and carried out by Te Tauihu and Te Wananga o Aotearoa. My part was the design and implementation of the Resource Centre as Project Manager.

Website Design

---

After completing a registration system in PHP for my online workshop delivery site at http://ib-computing.net/ I decided to offer my friend Semih in Auckland a php-driven website for his cafe.

The site design is dead simple as it may well be used as much on mobile devices as on the web. There is a switcher link for mobile/web viewing.

Semih can access a login page and edit the menu-items and groups that display on the menu page. Pretty cool.
