I have written several articles about local places of interest for the upcoming Cornwall area of the Discovery Travel Network site such as one on the town of Truro (.rtf download).
I've done some pieces for the BBC Wales surfing site and community portal:
Article about women's surf coaching
Portugal – a travel piece.
Aberystwyth Learning and Teaching Online – maintained as part of my post at UWA (note that while I wrote much of this, it has since been updated in places). See especially the Blackboard support materials. I also created and maintained many courses on Blackboard to support e-learning initiatives within the institution. I learned so much about education, computers, the internet and people! I taught myself to code and use Flash and Dreamweaver, and took a Photoshop course. While there I created The VITS Tutorial – an E-learning module in Flash in Welsh and English which was super-challenging but great fun.
