    No More! I have had a few questions recently regarding how to create an evidence portfolio online. The best option that I know of which is fully portable, free and stays with you for the rest of your life is using Google sites. To setup a Google site you will need a Google account but…

    I ran a session on the weekend for Diploma TAA students on how to upload training videos to the web. Of course it could be any type of video or for that matter a podcast. It doesn’t cover all of the detail particularly when you get to iTunes which is a little bit trickier than…

    I could write a very big, complicated post here on the principles of better elearning and in most cases I would bore and confuse people. That’s what is so great about the web.

    I’ve had a number of enquiries from people regarding passwords for online applications. The issue here is the increasing number of passwords we need to have to login to all those handy internet sites and applications.
