Distance Learning Expertise
I have considerable practical experience of
developing distance learning packages, in both the private
and public sectors. My work spans the recent history of technology-enhanced
learning; from the stand-alone, two colour systems of the early
1980s, to the current internet-based technology.

I maintain my expertise in effective teaching innovations
both to improve the experience of students on
online philosophy degrees
and to advise university philosophy departments on their
e-learning strategy.
For example, I have recently used
Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) to conduct e-tutorials, and
to continue discussions beyond the classroom.
