Why Roving Digital Education?

I have a passion for education & learning and I'm fascinated with how technology, the internet and modern communication interacts with education. Hence the Digital and the Education!

Roving? It's like a journey, there is much I have already discovered on this path and so much more to find out. Think of me like a reporter on the ground finding out information and passing this on via this blog.

Collaborative & social learning are at it's heart (I'll be coming back to this topic very soon!)

Digital can take so many forms. It's not simply using technology to facilitate learning via a virtual classroom. Digital changes the way learners interact with each other , the subject matter and their tutors. No longer just the computer screen, the effect of mobile and always on digital devices is huge!

Education & learning a a huge topic and one that I define as being everything from bite sized online tutorials to full degree courses and so much in-between.

Who am I? A qualified and experienced adult trainer & tutor from the North of the UK working with a team on an innovative learning platform.
