About Bluengrey.com

Written by Philip Roy on 04 April 2015.

Why the name Bluengrey.com?

Short answer : Lack of fashion sense!

Long Answer : Well, the art of coming up with the name for your web site isn't an easy one. After thinking about it for a while, I settled on 'blue n grey'....a bit of a running joke amongst friends about the colour of the clothes I tend to wear or buy. Why not?

Curriculum Vitae

Written by Philip Roy on 31 October 2020.

The following is an abridged version of some aspects of my Curriculum Vitae. It is not intended to be a comprehensive listing and has been edited to keep it reasonably brief. If you would like to see a copy of my full Curriculum Vitae, please contact me with your details.

My Profile

Written by Philip Roy on 31 October 2020.

I have a background in eLearning, Instructional Design, training and teaching, having taught in both New Zealand and the United Kingdom. I hold a Postgraduate Diploma in Computer Science and completed my Master of Education in Online and Distance Education (with Honours) in 2010, researching the perceptions of staff and students in the use of asynchronous and synchronous tools.

In 2009 I was appointed New Zealand's first Higher Education Adobe Education Leader in recognition of my work in the area of web-conferencing. In 2004 I was appointed as one of 15 inaugural Flexible Learning Leaders in New Zealand, recognising my innovative use of technology in teaching and learning.

I have experience in a number of multimedia and web-authoring products, as well as an absolute passion for all Apple products, notably the Macintosh. From 2002-2007, I wrote the multimedia section of New Zealand's only Macintosh magazine "NZ Macguide". In 2003, I launched NZMac.com, a website dedicated to supporting the New Zealand Macintosh community, and a sister site (NZiPhone.com) in 2008, before selling the sites in 2011.

NZMac.com was the largest Macintosh web site in New Zealand and ran on an open source content management system called Joomla. I am an experienced Joomla user (this site runs on Joomla) and NZMac.com was featured as a case study in a published Joomla book, as well as being mentioned briefly in another.
