Trained in the teaching of English as a second language, I joined the Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU), New Delhi, India at its inception in 1986. After serving the University as a Lecturer/Senior Lecturer in Distance Education/Assistant Director, Regional Services Division, I joined the University of the West Indies Distance Education Centre (UWIDEC), Barbados in 1998 as Curriculum Development Specialist.
