Ben Audsley

I have worked in eLearning for over 12 years, and in IT and computing for over 22 years.I began my career at the Workers Education Association, the largest provider of Adult education in the UK, as a support analyst before moving up to a Senior Support Analyst, involved in building networks and providing helpdesk support.  I then moved on to work as a Learning Technologies officer for Coventry University London Campus, and then a Virtual Learning Environment Manager during my 4 years at the Royal Veterinary College.Presently, I am the Electronic Resources Manager at the Institute of Dentistry at Queen Mary University in London, England.I have managed multiple eLearning projects throughout my wide and varied career, including a college wide migration from Blackboard to Moodle, creating new undergraduate online courses, managing Virtual Learning Environments, Creating e-learning content, Moodle training, learning design including MOOCs and SPOCs and pedagogical design of online courses.I frequently identify and assess relevant learning technologies to extend and support teaching and learning, and plan and manage the integration of such technologies into the curriculum and into teaching practice. I have regularly, throughout my career, designed and implemented a range of training, including student inductions, large scale teacher training, online training and individual training.I am always interested in any Moodle or eLearning consultancy work - if you require this sort of service, please let me know, or visit my website.In my spare time, I enjoy watching Football - I am a Chelsea fan, entering online competitions, playing with my cat Daisy (she makes a guest appearance in my courses!) and going out to the pub with my friends.
