Sem2 Timetable

The aim of this web site is to act as a study support for the students who are studying with me.

The web site is not a replacement for the taught sessions and should only be used in conjunction with the face to face sessions.

 

You are required to attend all the sessions. If you have to miss a session, you should let me know in advance.

Each module has its own page where you can find out more about the module content, the weekly activities, and the assignments.

 

I will be updating the information on module web pages during the semester. I expect you to check these pages frequently, i.e. few times a week.

More about me

I did my BA in 'Linguistics and Cognitive Science' at Sussex University before moving to Brighton University to do my TEFL Diploma. I completed my M.Phil in 'Social and Political Theory' at Cambridge University followed by an MSc in 'Computer Science:New generation Programming' at Exeter University. My PhD at Manchester University was on the use of multimedia in language learning.

My main research interests are in the uses of Information and Communication Technology in teaching and learning, instructional design, distance and on-line education, computer assisted language learning, the training of teachers in the use of ICT, and multimedia materials development. I am currently looking at Physical Interfaces.

Experimental

I am doing some research on Physical Interfaces and experimenting with reading sensor data through Director and Arduino Boards.
