2026–ongoing
An early click-the-picture demo for students practising named bits of the body. Timed, scored, ranked a bit like Times Tables Rock Stars. Started in 2026 with Liverpool’s Institute of Population Health; hosted as a CEDS demo while the idea is still being talked through.
Times Tables Rock Stars, named bits of a body, and a PHP page dressed like a skills lab.
2025–ongoing
A sharing database for Health and Life Sciences staff at the University of Liverpool. Mostly so people put their teaching projects in one place, find related work, and maybe stop reinventing the same thing down the corridor.
A staff catalogue that tries to show this teaching project is related to that one.
2023–ongoing
Clingo is clinical bingo for health students. Instead of numbers you get phrases you might hear on placement. Scan a QR code for a card, someone at the front runs the caller, and when the card is full you shout CLINGO. ScLINGO is the same game with Scouse.
Bingo night, clinical phrases, Scouse, and a QR code on a phone.
2021–ongoing
A web app for spreading students across hospital sites without living in last year’s spreadsheet. Trusts confirm capacity, universities have preferences, academic years stack up, and somebody still has to email people when a site has not filled in this year’s numbers.
Hospital sites, how many students they can take this year, university preferences, and the spreadsheet that used to hold all of it.
2025
Clinical ethics scenarios for health students. You pick a messy situation, a bad doctor has already given terrible advice, and you talk it through with a chatbot that is meant to be the better colleague in the room.
Ethics cases, a pile of terrible advice, and ChatGPT as the colleague who has to unpick it.
2023
A classroom spinner for the Equality Act. You spin a protected characteristic, get dealt a clinical scenario and a practitioner role, then talk about what that combination actually means in the room.
A fairground wheel, the Equality Act, and a clinical scene you then have to talk through.
2019
A veterinary case as a text adventure. Lennox Harlowe was written in Twine, put into Cordova so it could run on a phone, and there is a Unity/Fungus 2D version in another repo.
A vet case written as a branching story, then wrapped so it can run on a phone.
2024–ongoing
A web app for ranking work by repeatedly picking which of two things is better. A collaboration between Liverpool’s Centre for Educational Development and Support, the School of Dentistry, and the School of Biosciences. Students use it to peer-assess and actually look at the work; staff use it to mark at scale; it has also been used with movie posters as an icebreaker. Dentistry is using it live.
Keep picking which poster is better, zoom in like a museum, and keep a spreadsheet people actually trust.
2022
An Articulate Storyline course for KIRAT, a police risk-assessment tool used in child-protection investigations. Built with CEDS, University of Liverpool researchers, the NCA, and the College of Policing so officers across the UK learned the same version of the tool the same way.
A Storyline course for a police risk tool, so every force got the same version.

My PhD. I ran collaborative workshops where people used open-source stats on digital footprints, hoping they’d get a feel for what data-driven organisations actually do with their data. Teaching the methods bored most people. Showing wrestling tag-team graphs to wrestling fans worked better. University of Bolton, 2021.
Open-source stats, digital footprints, and wrestling graphs, trying to make surveillance feel real enough to talk about.
