Photography
Since completing an NCFE Level 2 in Photography in 2006 I have been taking a camera almost everywhere I go, especially my Digital SLR.
To the left you can see a museum piece at the Institute of Art in Minneapolis.
More of my photography, both personal and professional, can be viewed on Flickr.

SOLE (Student Online Learning Environment)
SOLE was the result of a project to realise a "Virtual College" for students, a portal that linked four areas of interest that were being introduced over the course of summer 2007 along with video tutorials on how to use them.
This included a facebook-style social area called My Site, and a Student Intranet built using Sharepoint 2007. SOLE also featured a student email service, and a Virtual Learning Environment called Moodle.

Studinet (Student Intranet)
The Student intranet built on Sharepoint 2007 was a big step up from the previous verstion of Studinet. Both teaching and executive staff were able to update their own areas themselves, which meant that content could be kept up to date.
Also on the page were four social areas for students, covering music, games, music and sport. In these areas were RSS feeds, forums and polls.

Citinet (Staff Intranet)
During the upgrade of the Student Intranet to Sharepoint 2007, the Staff Intranet on earlier Sharepoint 2003 underwent several design changes. Team sites that act as personal webpages for areas of the college were personalised with bespoke graphics and animations.
The front page also underwent several changes, including flash banners advertising important changes in the college, and easy to read shortcuts to popular pages.

Student Moodle
Replacing the old WebCT system, Moodle was the open source solution to City College's need for a new Virtual Learning Environment. The Student area had to be themed appropriately with clear navigation links to different areas, some courses were customised with graphics, audio and video.
Training sessions were held frequently to upskill teaching staff on how to get the best out of Moodle, combining their experience as a tutor with the features available on the website.

Since it's creation is has been the base for teaching staff new skills with courses produced on how to use Microsoft Outlook 2003, Apple Macs, and Moodle itself, complete with video and audio tutorials.
