  • Zoom Doom?

    Don’t get me wrong in this post. I am a big fan of elearning. I have been since the 90’s. I was actually doing a great deal of elearning towards the end of the 90’s and after but it seemed to trickle away or maybe I was just caught up in the face to face…

  • ZOOM or FACE to FACE?

    That is the question. It has been interesting to suddenly go from almost 5 days a week delivering face to face programs to all virtual programs using predominantly Zoom.

  • Interesting Times

  • Google Tools

    Photo by Elyssa Zornes on Unsplash I use a lot of Google products and tools from Drive to Tasks to Photos. They are great and they are free. I am currently thinking about paying for an upgrade on Drive so that I can back up my whole system. I am pretty sure that I don’t know all of…

  • Video downloader – Wow!

    Photo by Jakob Owens on Unsplash I tried this video downloader out on the weekend and it is great. Very handy to have the video on your own computer or on a USB when you are in areas where the internet is dodgy or just doesn’t exist. It is much better than the previous one I had used.…

  • Learning about learning

    Photo by Mike Tinnion on Unsplash As the year comes to a close and hopefully the workload is slowing down a little it is a good time to do some learning yourself rather than teaching others. Here is a good course to start with. It is self paced over six weeks and it is free. It is called…

  • Sunday Zephyr – Long Weekend

    More info on the photo here How is your long weekend going (For OZ readers)? I am a big fan of podcasts. I listen to them when I run and basically every time I drive or travel. I have always just relied on iTunes for my podcasts but recently I found PodcastOne which has some…
