My Profile
Having taken early retirement at the end of 2011 for a lifestyle change I am now working as an educational consultant. I remain committed to open education and continue as an independent chair of the OER Foundation. I am also currently a member of the Todd Foundation Grants scheme on behalf of the ITP (Polytechnic) Sector http://www.toddfoundation.org.nz/grant-recipients/recipients-of-todd-foundation-scholarships-and-awards/
Previously Deputy CE at Otago Polytechnic, http://wikieducator.org/Otago_Polytechnic a role I held since 2003, prior to this I was Deputy CE (.5) and Dean, Health and Community Group since 2000.

Member Todd Foundation Grants committee.
Qualifications Ph.D - Flinders University of South Australia - Topic - Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL), Dip Soc Sci - Massey University New Zealand, B.Sc - Otago University, New Zealand
My teaching background has been in the areas of Behavioural Science, Research Methods, and Health informatics. I have a strong interest in the philosophy of education, this is informed by my work on assessment of prior learning and access to education. There have been significant links with open education, e-learning, flexible and blended learning as they relate to reducing barriers to access to education. This is also important at a policy level where traditional thinking on education can be a constraint. Being in a position to influence policy and challenging existing views is a key feature of how I see my current roles, both within Education and Otago Polytechnic.
