Mark has worked on over one hundred Moodle LMS and other learning technology implementation projects across a wide range of sectors, including healthcare, defense, retail, finance, engineering, automotive, higher and further education, and local and central government. Most of this has been with Epic, an industry leader in e-learning content, mobile learning solutions, and learning management systems implementation. Epic has led the way on mobile learning in workplace learning and development, hence Mark's focus on bringing mobile and Moodle together.
Mark was an early contributor to the original Bootstrap theme for Moodle and is credited as one of the founding team that built the Clean theme in Moodle 2.5, which is based on Bootstrap. Mark is a regular speaker at UK learning and development conferences, and presented at the UK and Ireland MoodleMoots in 2012 and 2013. He is also one of the founders of the MoodleBrighton user group, which meets monthly in Brighton, UK.
A huge debt of gratitude is owed to all of my colleagues at Epic. When I came back to the company in 2011, I had zero previous exposure to mobile learning, and the teams at Epic supported me on a huge learning curve with regards to what mobile learning is all about. With particular regards to this book, I would like to thank Imogen Casebourne and Ishmael Burdeau for initial ideas for content, and the wider Platforms and Mobile teams for their constant stream of inspiration and new ideas for what we can do with Moodle and mobile learning. I would also like to thank the project managers and sales and marketing team for chasing down permissions for the case studies.
I also owe thanks to a number of people for their assistance in writing this book:
Gavin Henrick for his sound advice on publishing a Moodle book based on the times he has done this himself.
Stuart Lamour, Carol Shergold, and Paulo Oprandi from the University of Sussex e-learning team for their fascinating insights and passion for improving Moodle's user experience and responsive design, much of which has improved my thinking and helped shape this book.
Bas Brands, Stuart Lamour, and David Scotson for their amazing work on the initial Bootstrap theme for Moodle, a project to which I am immensely proud to have contributed and to have seen make it into Moodle Core.
For general advice and conversations about mobile learning and Moodle during the writing of this book: Craig Taylor, Lesley Price, Nitin Parmar, Ross McKenzie, John Foord, Dan Jeffries, Lewis Carr, and Rob Englebright.
To my reviewers, whose valuable feedback and supportive comments lifted my spirits at the end of the laborious writing process.
And finally to my wife Rachel for putting up with my long nights while I was writing this book. And to my children Molly, George, and Cooper for sleeping soundly throughout. Love to you all.
