Bio
Ian McNaught
Mohammad is a life long learner, he thrives in roles where he has the opportunity to learn new skills and immediately apply them. He has gained a vast amount of experience in educational technology, giving him a well honed instinct for what works and what doesn't. He has significant technical skills, right down to intricate tuning of a linux server and automated scripting of tasks, but is equally confident and competent training a class full of seasoned academics in how to enhance their courses with technology - a rare combination of skills.
