FURTHER GENERAL INFORMATION

Design and Preparation of Modules

While teaching at Curtin University - Kalgoorlie Campus (Vocational Education Sector, formerly Kalgoorlie College) I have had to design, write and prepare courses for other lecturers and myself. This sometimes included co-ordinating the course for a remote site from the college.

Recent experience in curriculum development includes the writing of subject outlines for nationally accredited modules, including Fourth Generation Languages and Industrial Control Programming.

Other experience within the Australian National Curriculum for further education, including the development of new subject materials never before taught at the college ranging from Value Added Information Services, The Internet, and Delphi Programming.

Communication Skills

During my university course I have had to present a number of seminars. On all occasions I enjoyed doing this.

I have also assisted on a number of Open days at the University of Reading, for the Computing Department. Communications Skills were useful during these Open Days. These skills have been used on many occasions since. For example during the enrolling period here at Curtin University.

Customer Focus Skills and Interaction

While working for Cyclop Systems, Marlow, I used my effective communication skills whilst dealing with customers. I also had to learn new ideas and concepts quickly and efficiently. I was given the problem of learning a structured programming methodology, and how to effectively document all programs that were written.

During the period of employment in the summer, I was given the task of writing a database in Applesoft Basic. I successfully completed this during the allocated 5 weeks. Subsequently I was employed as a full time member of staff.

I have taught Primary Education and Challenge Program (PEAC) courses, Certificate in Computing, Certificate in Computing Applications, Associate Diploma (Computing) and Graduate Diploma in Computing (Informatics, Programming) subjects, plus Industry Training courses including:-

I have practical knowledge of many aspects of PC’s. Where my knowledge is not up to requirements I am willing to learn.

I am involved in self-education in Java, Web Design, Visual Basic, and Internet Technologies.

General Teaching and Flexibility

The nature of Curtin University - Kalgoorlie Campus dictates that Lecturers are very flexible in their ability to learn quickly and to be able to convey that newly acquired knowledge.
