About

The Reluctant Technologist is a my personal website & blog.  It’s primarily about the use of technology in (higher) education.

I’m the E-Learning Manager for the School of Engineering & Mathematical Sciences and the School of Informatics at City University London where I  manage the support & development of our use of technologies for teaching and learning. I’m particularly interested in the use of social media in higher education.

I’ve worked in learning technology roles since 2001 at LSE , London Metropolitan University & London Business School. Before that I was a TEFL teacher for 5 years, a ski bum, systems analyst and bank clerk. I have an MA ICT in Education from the Institute of Education (University of London).

I’m an elected Trustee of the Association for Learning Technology (ALT)  and the Vice Chair of their Publications Committee. I’m also a school governor for Stroud Green Primary School.
