Over the last 30 years the teaching environment and expectations have changed dramatically. Computers are now ubiquitous, extremely capable and universal access to broadband internet  is almost a reality. This has lead to significant changes in what we teach, how we teach it and what resources we can expect students to provide for themselves.

As the teaching environment has evolved I have spent a significant amount of time working on useful systems that leverage the innovations to support our teaching and student administration. For example, most assignment work in Computer Science now uses a web based submission system that I wrote, it can automatically assess and mark student work providing instant feedback. To ease the pain of timetabling and resolving the inevitable enrolment issues, I implemented an in browser timetable viewing system that allows solutions to complex scheduling issues to be identified in a just a few clicks.

The combination of my computer systems focussed research interests and the practical experience of building useful systems that have real users and must be maintained, provides a solid foundation to my teaching of computer systems, programming and software engineering.
