Editor's Notes

  1. Why should you listen to me? Work in the OU, largest universities in the UK. Distance education. Work in the London office, which is in Camden. Busy part of the city. I help to run various undergraduate modules: computing and design. Of which, there is an innovation module. In a former life, I used to be a professional software developer. Enough about me! This is about you!
