Being self employed, I freelance for various training companies as well as working directly with organisations as a facilitator, trainer or mediator. In this example, I have drawn on one training company that I work for although it is clear that they are still on the starting block when in it comes to exploiting new technologies.

personal use

| Cloud computing | No | 9 Months – as a result of starting OU course and wanting to work on it from various locations. | |
| Mobile/cell phone | No | 5 years. More frequently in last year having changed to smart phone. Previously blackberry was slow to access internet. Use it for OU as well as personal learning interests | |
| Open content | No | 6-7 years. Great fan of open source software for developing music, writing etc. as well as 'training' literature. | |
| Tablet computing | 6 months | 6 months – used for variety of learning applications | |
| Game-based learning | No | 4 years: have used various apps to help with language learning, problem solving skills etc. | |
| Learning analytics | Internally, data gleaned from customers and trainers evaluation forms inform future programmes for delivery | No | |
| New scholarship | No | 2 yrs: Online reviewer for Emerald publishing, so guess I am part of the peer to peer assessments. | |
| Semantic applications | No | 1 yr. Not so much for educational purposes more for leisure. | |
| Augmented reality | No | No. (I have toyed with idea of giving training sessions in Second Life, not sure about this though.) | |
| Collective intelligence | Not really other than own private portal/intranet. | 5 yrs if forums like LinkedIn could be counted or other informal 'non-scientific' collaborative forums | |
| Smart objects | No | No | |
| Telepresence | 3 yrs in basic form. Often used for catch ups when delegates have missed programmes. Not a specific option for learning. | No | |
