At 100 posts I paused for a summary of what has changed. This seems to be a reasonable idea, so I’m doing it again in this, the 200th post.

I am still working for the University of Nottingham‘s School of Mathematical Sciences, where my job title is Technology-Enhanced-Learning Officer. I support use of technology in teaching within the School, most of which is through various forms of e-assessment. I started a blog about this, but haven’t updated it in a while, over at Adventures in Technology Enhanced Learning.

I also still work as University Liaison Officer for the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications (IMA), although I have reduced my hours. My arrangement now is to work 52 days over a year, and these are concentrated into weeks when students are around, which means at this time of the year I am doing less for them. I still produce a podcast, Travels in a Mathematical World, although this is on summer hiatus.

The saving made on working fewer hours for the IMA is to enable me to return to my PhD in e-assessment in maths at Nottingham Trent University (NTU). Since the 100th post I have completed my PGCertHE at NTU and become a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy. I also upgraded my BCS membership from Associate Member to Member. I think this makes me: Peter James Rowlett BSc (Hons) MSc PGCertHE FHEA MIMA MBCS.

If you’d like to hear me speaking about my work, I was recently interviewed by Samuel Hansen for his podcast Strongly Connected Components episode 18. We enjoyed our conversation so much that it led to us starting the Math/Maths Podcast, a regular (weekly? we’ll see) conversation about mathematics between the UK and USA.

I have been videoed giving talks for a project called History of Maths and x. I started, on request, to keep a map of where I had given talks. I registered as a STEM Ambassador and have been cleared through an Enhanced CRB check. I have been co-opted to Council of the British Society for the History of Mathematics. I have been elected Senior Vice Chair of the East Midlands IMA Branch.
