I work at the Centre for Applied Research in Educational Technology at the University of Cambridge, with Dr Patrick Carmichael. I am involved in the JISC project Sakai VRE for Educational Research, and deal with the ICT infrastructure for the TLRP who are based at the Institute of Education. This includes web services, digital repositories, and virtual research environments. I also maintain the website for the Learning How to Learn Project which is part of the TLRP.

This page is based on the Learn to Learn server. My FOAF file is here FOAF Oh there are some photos of my hols aswell here and here.
