David Harbottle
I'm an award-winning instructional designer with over twelve years' experience of designing, building, testing and evaluating e-learning and training.
I focus on the learner, and favour collaboration, open ways of working, imaginative learning, solid instructional design pedagogy, and constant reflection on what works.
