The introduction and adoption of the Adobe Connect and Adobe Presenter technologies into Massey University is something I am exceptionally proud of achieving.

The work that I did at Massey University bringing the Adobe Connect web-conferencing system into the University and how we were using it was featured as an Adobe Case Study on their website. I asked Dr Craig Prichard to be involved in the case study also. It was an interesting experiences even just getting the document written up (in terms of the various people we had to deal with) and it's been great to see a link to this case study feature in a few of Adobe's printed brochures.

Adobe kindly invited me to be a presenter at the Adobe Education Leadership Forum in Kuala Lumpur, April 2008.

By the time I started in the College of Humanities and Social Sciences, WebCT (the University's Learning Management System at the time) had been in use in the University for a number of years. Surprisingly no-one had ever written online support material for staff on how to use WebCT. As part of my role as an E-Learning Facilitator, I developed and maintained an e-learning website to support staff. The site featured support for WebCT , Adobe Connect (formerly known as Macromedia Breeze - a flash-based presentation and virtual conferencing system) as well as information on other technologies and their use in e-learning.

In 2005 I wrote an article for the Journal Of Distance Learning entitled Learning Management Systems and the Realities of Using Open Source Software*. I wasn't very happy with the fact that the article was published with edits that hadn't been discussed with me, such as paragraphs being moved and words changed (such as "software's lifecycle" being changed to "software's lifestyle"...yikes!).
