Hi, I’m a former university academic who became more interested in how I was teaching than what I was teaching and in the late 90’s made the decision to leave tenured academia behind and set up a small company called NetSpot to follow my passion for eLearning.

Nearly 15 years later the company was acquired (19-Mar-2012) and now I’m Vice President, eLearning, Blackboard APAC and still following my passion for elearning!

I walk a lot (http://www.fitbit.com/user/45RTTZ) and I like to cycle (especially in the warmer months) – http://www.strava.com/athletes/allan_christie – and yes, I’m a MAMIL – Middle-Aged Man In Lycra! I’m the husband of one and the father of three.

This is my personal blog and all posts are mine alone and do not necessarily reflect the views of my employer.

I can be followed on twitter @ns_allanc or email: allan@christie.com.au
