Book

Published 1st March 2025

I wrote a thing. But this time, for the first time, it’s been published in a book! My case study on Sunderland’s first year of our partnership with Studiosity has been published as ‘Case Study 3.6: Enabling Students to Evaluate Their Academic Writing’ in ‘Teaching and Learning with Innovative Technologies in Higher Education: Real-World Case Studies‘, edited by Gelareh Roushan, Martyn Polkinghorne and Uma Patel.

That’s a big life goal achieved, but I guess I’m going to have to get my name on the front of a book next!

Opportunities Online – Booking an Event

Published 17th February 2015

Further to my original video walkthrough of the Opportunities Online system I was asked to create a new version showing the events booking functionality. I split it into three sections and recycled the ‘Logging In’ scene from the earlier content item to save some work and time. I have also continued to work on the style and presentation of these to make them even better, making the image on the welcome slide full screen for a smoother appearance and increased visual impact for example.

This site does not exist to gather data about anyone for any reason, and anything which is incidentally collected I intend to use for absolutely no purpose whatsoever. Furthermore, I have attempted to reduce any opportunities for third parties to gather data by, for example, omitting analytics tracking code and using the more ethically minded Shariff Wrapper plug-in for social media sharing. Nevertheless, surveillance capitalism is insidious, and I strongly recommended that you protect yourself online by using tools like Privacy Badger from the EFF.
