Consulting developed over ten years of experience include the following technical consulting, planning, development and implementation.
The University of West London, UK
Design and implementation of a student music and media portal. Prior to the development of this main portal and its sister degree show sites Bitstream07 and Bitstream08 the Foundation Degree, Undergraduate and Masters students at The University of West London had no web presence or facility that allowed them to showcase their final projects in music technology, including ‘Live’ Sound & Recording, Audio Post Production, Experimental Sound, Pop Music Performance and also MA Audio Technology.
The LCM website became a major source of information for prospective students and a repository and showcase of students work that they were able to use for future employment and as alumni to further their web based presence.
Additionally a system of event scheduling was created that allow both faculty performance events and current students to enter their events into the online platform which were then moderated by events staff.
Learning objects were also added for music technology students in the form of video tutorials with interactive multi-choice questions.
Additional projects included a research funded collaboration and repository network for staff research and creative practice output.
BitStream08 – Degree Show Portal for Music Technology
Design, development and implementation. BitStream08 was an enhancement that added video to the system in BitStream07 discussed below. This allowed music technology students to show video of performance or film work that they had created or collaborated upon.
BitStream 07 – Degree Show Portal For Music Technology
Design, development and implementation. BitStream 07 was the first design, development and implementation of a music portal for final year degree students in the UK.

Additional images and text were also automatically formatted and placed on a page with the titles of the media and student author details and contact.
