Stephen speaks at numerous conferences, workshops and management retreats on the impact of educational technology on higher education.

He also runs hands-on workshops on topics ranging from eBook creation to an exploration of educational technology on the horizon.

Stephen spent many years working in Educational Technology and Tech Enhanced Learning at universities, and 16 years focussed on Higher Education with Apple. He spent some years working between the UK and ANZ until he joined the Canadian learning innovation company, D2L, in March 2021. In August 2023 Stephen returned to consulting after a positive and informative time with D2L.

After over ten years with the same supplier, we had decided to move to a new PRS system. With our old system being embedded in use across our very complex organisation, it was critical that we understood the challenges and the benefits of moving to Vevox. Stephen provided personalised consultancy for us, drawing upon his great experience and empathy, to see the situation from our perspective and to help us to make a successful move. We are very grateful for his help.
