By 1994 I needed some more reliable income and joined Dunstable College, initially on a part-time basis, and began teaching in early 1995. Finding that I thoroughly enjoyed this new activity and that I could put my knowledge and experience to good effect, I soon had a very full timetable of IT and Business Studies training.
Since 1996 I have delivered a wide range of courses and in that year I began to run the Staff Development programme for IT training too. In the absence of a good, modern IT course being available I designed the IT2000 series of units which covered all the aspects of IT training that I believed businesses and home users needed, and which were not being catered for by any existing courses offered. This course was validated by the Open College Network at levels 1, 2 and 3 in 1998 and has run ever since. It was particularly well-received at Vauxhall Motors where I delivered Staff IT training until 2001.
I have been an elected member of the College's Academic Board since 1996 and contribute actively to a wide range of developments. Recent highlights include the introduction of support for a better and more effective learning environment in my role as ILT Co-ordinator, the drafting and validation of a new Foundation Degree in Business for overseas students and as a founding member of the Eastern Region E-learning Forum.
