About these and screencasts

I’ve been working independently and with TechDis and Nottingham University helping to develop, promote and support for quite a while now so it seemed appropriate to establish a dedicated page linking to various and examples etc.

Tools & TerminologyI started to put some video tutorials together partly to support my f2f sessions but also for the wider benefit of the community. The introduction and first episode in the series covers the Tools & Terminology, aimed at teaching staff rather than developers and introducing the various tools and terminology. The original collection of screencasts and other have been available for quite a while now but I plan to add a number of additions over the next few weeks and months so check back regularly.

If you’re interested in using my services for , customisation, additional templates, learning object development please contact me via my contact page.

JISC Techdis ITQ

JISC Techdis ITQ in Accessible IT Practice

This includes a colour scheme and gradient to match the new JISC Techdis logo and to complement the ITQ in Accessible IT Practice

View example

Birkbeck

As part of a day’s a quick theme was created including converting the Birkbeck logo to .swf format.

MoLeNET

The MoLeNET installation introduced a lot of people to the benefits of Online Toolkits. The installation was branded to match the MoLeNET and MoLeNET logo.

Niace

Another theme to match and existing theme complete with logo appearing by default.

East Riding College

As part of a day’s for staff new to XOT I created a theme matched to the college logo so that even LO’s created during the were ready to go with appropriate branding.

Learning Apps

A green and black theme to match the company and other systems.

Mitchellmedia

During I use a range of themes and styles to demonstrate the flexibility and extensibility.

QR Code

I developed a custom page type a few years back to automatically generate a short url and QR code. This is now part of the Notts download.

Textwall

For those using the http://textwall.co.uk service this is a page I developed to provide an optimised view of textwall message via the rss feed.

Bleeding image/Advanced image

Another page type I developed which is now part of the Notts download. This enables more flexible positioning of images which can ‘bleed’ off one or more edges of the stage.

Compare Answer

This has been a very popular page type in the installations I look after but isn’t part of the Notts download. The functionality includes automatically copying the question, student response and pre-prepared answer to the clipboard as well as a seprate compare answer results page.
