About Wayne

Wayne lives in the "Garden of England", the cultural and spiritual home of Chaucer, Marlowe, Powell, hops, orchards, some White Cliffs, an Archbishop, a bear called "Rupert", a cat called "Bagpuss" and "Barry" from EastEnders.

He is a learning technologist based within the Learning and Teaching Enhancement Unit at Canterbury Christ Church University where he works with academic staff to enhance and enrich their learning, teaching and research practices through their engagement with technology. He is also a Chartered IT Professional with the British Computer Society.

He is a cartophilist, cinephile, technogeek and a veteran Top Trumps player with a taste for fine wine, fine food and as little exercise as possible, well, okay, maybe a little bit of walking. He has been known to have done some writing and regrets not playing a musical instrument. Learn more...
