Projects
“…For Media Sandbox, Ed has created and implemented a ‘blended programme of physical and virtual facilitation’. In real-world language this means he has a) worked with us to create events which encourage networking and collaboration and b) helped us create, use and manage a suite of free and accessible web 2.0 tools to develop and support a community around the scheme.
Ed is a pleasure to work with, he is diligent, full of good ideas and input and extremely thorough in his documenting and reporting. The events he has staged for us have been extremely well received and useful to all who participated. I would recommend him without hesitation…”
