My professional role

 * I am a Principal Lecturer in Information Technology at the Eastern Institute of Technology, in Hawke's Bay (EIT Hawke's Bay), New Zealand

About me

 * In 2009 completed my PhD (with Massey University, New Zealand)
 * I have an interest in using Web based technology to support my teaching, particularly in the area of personal support - as I believe that we share ourselves in our teaching - not just content, so what we deliver is peculiar to us.

History using WikiVersity
I was reviewing WikiVersity to find good pedagogical examples, as I am researching wikis in blended teaching and learning and came across a page that had been defaced. I grabbed a screen shot for my research, but felt I should remove the offending graffiti, so created an account and fixed the page. I have been aware of WikiVersity after Leigh Blackhall suggested I look at is an an alternative to WikiEducator. I have looked at WikiEducator for a few years and have dipped in from time to time to try and understand what the goals and aims were before thinking of getting involved (plus I needed to complete a PhD). Along side to help understand the technology - and because I wanted to have a web based system to support my teaching - I installed on my Web Host MediaWiki and proceeded to put my personal content online ( http://www.virtualmv.com/wiki )
