Research Interests
Learning and Teaching Fellowship April 2005-April 2007
The overall aim of my project is to move the Department of Information and Communications’ Courseware into the WebCT Vista Virtual Learning Environment. In doing this, it is hoped that other interested Departments such as Languages may be supported in implementing a similar environment within Vista.
