Mathsworks - Pearson Education UK

A range of educational software titled 'Mathsworks'. This won an award at the prestigious BETT UK, as well as garnering several other awards. I did some of the design, coded the core engine and a bunch of the activities, and developed and designed the original prototype that won us the contract.

This screen represents one submenu out of 4 on the disc which is for 1 year out of 6. There were over 200 separate games / activities in the final product.

This is one of the maths games I developed as part of the Mathsworks product.

Modlin eLearning platform

I was the lead developer at Modlin eLearning for several years; during my time there I single-handedly developed a highly sophisticated Flash-based educational software engine for the rapid deployment of curriculum complaint interactive learning software. Products built with this software are now used in schools and homes across the country.

Modlin eLearning platform

This is a sample screen from one of the learning products built with the Modlin eLearning platform. Teams of content designers, illustrators, data capturers and eLearning specialists used my engine to capture a whole range of interactive content. This product, a Grade 10 Physical Science course, has several thousand screens of interactive information, covering the entire curriculum.

PB Bear

One of the most enjoyable products I worked on while at Modlin eLearning was an educational CD for young learners based on the popular UK television character PB Bear. The CD featured a number of interactive videos; learners could click various objects at various points in the video to launch related activities.

PB Bear

The PB Bear CD contained around 20 activities: you could make cards, colour in pictures, create a band using PB Bear characters (and mix them in realtime) and dress PB Bear in a range of awesome outfits. Everything was printable too, which was nice. I coded it all and did a lot of the design.

Granada Learning

A set of science, geography and biology learning packages we created for Granada. I did some design and all the coding.

Granada Learning

Which items can be powered by renewable energy is my real question...

Granada Learning

I actually built a much more complex version of this little circuit-builder application for another client soon after.

Spoornet

Here's a Spoornet train driver course I developed, and which was used to assess new train drivers and offer detailed reporting on their skills, weak areas, etc. Compelling stuff, I'm sure you'll agree....

Eskom

I also built some software that taught Eskom employees how to perform high-level electrical engineering duties...like wiring plugs.

Shuter Foundation eLearning

Another eLearning engine I built, this time teaching young learners (Grade R to 3) Numeracy, Literacy and Life Skills. There's something odd about learning Life Skills from a computer, isn't there?

Shuter Foundation eLearning

Teaching animal liberation to six-year olds - fill in the number sequence to coax the chicken towards freedom!

Modlin eLearning Dictionaries

An engine I developed that was used to build a vast array of interactive dictionaries in every subject and every grade.
