Appointed in April 2002
to head up the BBC's
Training and Development
operation Nigel built
one of the most
successful learning and
development operations
in the UK. He left
the BBC in September
2006 to start his own
company that is
focussing on creativity,
innovation and learning.
He is working with
companies in Europe,
Australia and the USA in
this capacity.
Nigel's Top 10 Tools as at
12 February 2008
Skype: could
not live without it. I use it several times a
day and it allows me to be everywhere at once, I
have Skype IN numbers all over the world
Backpack
to share resources and lists. It is
web based and allows selected people into edit the
pages I create and share other resources. Its
beauty is its simplicity and cheap too.
PackRat
to have that stuff off line, so I can
take all the Backpack resources and work on them off
line
Survey Monkey
because there is nothing like it and it is
easy to use and very effective
Squarespace
for my website. Allows me to edit
everything in a WISIWIG way with minimal html grind and
they provide all the stats and back-ups I could possibly
need.
Joost
because it works brilliantly. How they
compress that data to deliver instant full screen
playback still amazes me and some of the stuff is worth
watching too
Google Docs
is a simple wiki for sharing
the development of docs and works really
well with Google storing the material on its
servers so anyone can access at any time.
