On the 12th of February, I attended 2 London meetups: Articulate user meetup: Speeding up your eLearning workflows and Vyond community meetup: Connect with our team. It was the first time I’d attended these meetups, I met some interesting people and learn some new things!

GA Workshop: Mobile Video: Produce Content Like a Pro
I’ve been meaning to write this post for a while! I attended my first General Assembly workshop on the 21st of January. After searching for a short course on quick-and-dirty video production, I came across this workshop and thought I’d give it a whirl. At £35 there wasn’t a lot to lose! I was really impressed with the instructor and the venue and really felt as though I learnt a lot. I came away with some valuable skills which I’ve been busy putting into practice!
Technical Communication & E-Learning MA
Earlier this month I submitted my final MA project to the University of Limerick! I felt a massive sense of achievement, it has definitely been an extremely challenging year. I decided to complete an MA in 2016, but just missed the enrolment deadline. I waited a year before I could begin and wow! time has flown. My results are due in November.
This blog post is about the Technical Communication & E-Learning MA offered at Limerick University.
Brush up your Grammar
A friend recently asked me “Are you constantly learning?” to which my answer was, yes! I think it’s a bit of an addiction of mine, I just love learning new things. I love the sense of achievement you feel from completing a project, gaining a new qualification or passing an exam.
There are so many things on my list of things to learn and I get frustrated as I don’t always have enough time to learn everything I want to. The world is full of so many things to see, do and learn and I truly believe the possibilities are endless. Learning new things opens up so many new opportunities, it can change your way of thinking and change your life. I am so lucky to have been born in a time where information and learning materials are so readily available.
CompTIA A + Exam
The CompTIA A + certification is made up of two exams, 220-901 and 220-902, you need to pass both exams in order to gain the certification. I sat both exams on Friday, and am happy to say I passed!
Website Updates – Portfolio Page
I received some feedback on my website and blog and as a result I have rolled out some updates. I also started working on my portfolio about a month ago, and decided to incorporate it into my website, alongside my blog. This is now live.
CompTIA Network + Exam
I sat the CompTIA Network + (N10-007) exam on Wednesday and am happy to say I passed! To be honest I was a little underprepared (having booked and taken the exam in just under 2 weeks) but I wanted to experience what the CompTIA IT exams were like, especially now they include performance-based questions (PBQs).
Teams and Social Relationships – Does this affect project success?
I was listening to a lecture on virtual teamwork a few weeks ago and something that was mentioned in the podcast stuck with me. I made a note at the time to explore this in more depth (which is why I’m only just getting around to it now).
