Some of you will know that I was an enthusiastic user of the Flowgram on-line presentation tool. I made several presentations and web tours with it this session, including Effective Presentations (reported in Fresh and Crispy), How to Cite, Research Techniques and Tools – The Presentation, Introducing Blackboard, Pebble Pad…
I just attended the School of Engineering’s Learning and Teaching committee to report on the last two meetings of the e-Learning Committee and the outcomes of the HEFCW Benchmarking exercise. At the end of my report, I was asked the following question (only partly in jest I think): “What is…
It’s Ada Lovelace Day today and spurred on by Sue Charman-Anderson thousands have signed a pledge to post today about women who have made an impact in technology. The Guardian is supporting this effort and items are expected on the BBC News Channel at around 8.20 pm today. My rather…
I’m sure I’ll not be the only one, but let me add my congratulations to Sir Tim and his wonderful, annoying, ubiquitous invention. Happy 20th Birthday, World Wide Web via Jane's E-Learning Pick of the Day by Jane Hart on 3/13/09 Scientific American has a great feature on…

Because I wanted to refer to web sites in this presentation (and so avoid plagiarism myself) I started out using flowgram.com for this. Unfortunately, there is something wrong with the PowerPoint upload…
I have created a new slidecast which is on writing a research dissertation. It’s aimed at level 3 students in Engineering, but there may be parts that you can use and adapt for your own courses. The presentation is released under a creative commons license. How To Write Your Research…
I was intrigued enough by this blog post from Darrell Etherington at Web Worker Daily to sign up with remindo.com and in so doing, created a corporate social network for swansea.ac.uk! On the face of it, this new beta social network service seems to have a lot going for it.…
