Hi there! My name’s Peter R. Bloomfield, and I’m a computer geek (programmer mostly) making the transition into (hopefully) respectable PhD student at the University of the West of Scotland, as of September 2008.
As a geek, my area was very much programming of various kinds. I have a 1st Class Honours BSc. in Computer Games Technology, as part of which I gained an insatiable desire for ethereal C++ programming! I’ve also done a lot of web-development work, having been the Lead Developer of the open source SLOODLE project from 2007 to 2008.
As a PhD student, my area of research will be (broadly speaking) education technology. More specifically, I’ll be looking at the integration of immersive virtual environments (such as Second Life ®) with web-based learning platforms (such as Moodle).
Personally, I’m also a Christian: I’m heavily involved in Grace Church - Scotland, and I own + operate AllAboutScripture.com. I’m fairly musical too, having trained classically in voice and piano. Can’t resist a good bit of jazz!
