Strategy

I have co-authored recent work performed on educational strategy in E Learning for the tertiary sector in New Zealand It resulted in a major report and subsequent follow-up consultation with several universities and Polytechs. The report is Taking the Lead, Strategic Management for E Learning. www.akoaotearoa.ac.nz/takingthelead

As Manager for Distance Learning for the Queensland Police Service, I created and implemented an education and training programme for service Police Officers.

Futures

I have been heavily involved in creating the national e learning guidelines. This work can be found at elg.massey.ac.nz

As a senior policy officer in the Office of the Cabinet in the Queensland Government I prepared all the Cabinet papers and submissions to create the Queensland Schools Curriculum Office.

Operations

I have had substantial experience in introducing, preparing and operationalising Blackboard at AUT University, which is now the biggest user in New Zealand. This project is highly regarded in the Australasian region.

The experience outlined above demonstrate that my skills and abilities are matched by few in the region and can be made available to those businesses and institutions who are moving into educating staff in the digital era.
