Open University

I was Academic Assistant on the MBA summer school (Keel - B888) for four years. I have produced computer-based learning materials for the Manufacturing Management section, using SimFactory from CACI.

T171: You, Your Computer and the Net
I was a tutor/counsellor on this course from May '00 to October '03. The entire course takes place on line making extensive use of First Class and has given me a chance to apply the ideas I looked at in theory during my Masters. I was also a national conference moderator for the course.


A172: Start Writing Essays
Started tutoring on this course Nov '03. Here I am working with both new and experienced OU students to develop their academic writing skills. Again the course is entirely on-line using First Class and the web.

Counselling Skills Model Course
Here I wrote scripts for phone calls that might take place between a caller and a helpline. The scripts explored a range of telephone comunication and counselling skills. This was initially as part of a model course for the OU and will be used to construct a template for specific courses for organisations needing to develop such skills.
