- In May 2012 I stood down after nearly 10 years of half-time employment (latterly as Chief Executive) with ALT - the Association for Learning Technology, a UK professional and scholarly association, leaving me free to concentrate on independent consulting and on pro-bono work. Past clients include BSI, ESRC, JISC, Local Authorities, PA Consulting, the Trades Union Congress, the National College, and the Centre for Research Communications.
