= My profile =

Here is a little bit about me...

Professional background
I am an accountant by trade but for about the last 25 years have been involved in education in one form or another as: 


 * a polytechnic lecturer
 * a staff developer
 * a corporate trainer
 * a material developer

I have also dabbled in web site development - html, VB script etc

Education
''My undergraduate degree is in accounting and I have a Masters in Education. I also trained as a primary school teacher and am currently working on a Grad Dip in Adult Literacy and Numeracy - three papers down and three to go.''

Professional
''My current focus in on in adult lilteracy and numeracy particularly barriers to adults acquiring literacy and numeracy skills. I am also interested in the langauge used in written material (I work for a distance education provider), both the course material and assessments, and the impact this has on student performance/retention/completion.''

Personal
I enjoy baking, cake decorating, puzzles of all kinds (the online code cracker, sudoku and crossword go down a treat with breakfast), knitting, and embroidery.

= Notes/things for me to remember =


 * Edit "button" is at the top of the section alongside the heading - not!!!! at the bottom of the section
 * Fill in the "Summary" box - must at some point be able to see a history of edits? Found it - tab at top of page!

= Questions =


 * View code and resultant page on screen at same time rather than toggling?
 * List of codes?
 * Is the TOC automatic?
 * Text colour?

= My wiki projects =


 * I registered for eL4C41, a Learning4Content workshop to learn wiki skills.
