He decided to start making recipes from what he found in his own kitchen cupboards to help teach his classes remotely.
The first one was a basic basic pasta sauce, but he’s progressed since, improving his video presentation technique and recording more complex recipes.
Andy Duffy, head of digital learning at the college, said: “The way it’s working is quite simple; lecturers are continuing to follow their timetables, so if they were meant to be teaching a particular class at 10am they will still go ahead, only virtually.
“The way most of the teachers are doing this is by using a video conferencing service such as Zoom or Skype; the teachers then deliver the lessons via the live video link as usual at the timetabled time.
“The lecturers have truly embraced using technology to ensure that students continue learning. We’ve seen massively creative ways of teaching students from their own houses, particularly with some of the trades and other vocational, hands-on subjects.”
