Acknowledgments
A huge debt of gratitude is owed to all of my colleagues at Epic. When I came back to the company in 2011, I had zero previous exposure to mobile learning, and the teams at Epic supported me on a huge learning curve with regards to what mobile learning is all about. With particular regards to this book, I would like to thank Imogen Casebourne and Ishmael Burdeau for initial ideas for content, and the wider Platforms and Mobile teams for their constant stream of inspiration and new ideas for what we can do with Moodle and mobile learning. I would also like to thank the project managers and sales and marketing team for chasing down permissions for the case studies.
I also owe thanks to a number of people for their assistance in writing this book:
Gavin Henrick for his sound advice on publishing a Moodle book based on the times he has done this himself.
Stuart Lamour, Carol Shergold, and Paulo Oprandi from the University of Sussex e-learning team for their fascinating insights and passion for improving Moodle's user experience and responsive design, much of which has improved my thinking and helped shape this book.
Bas Brands, Stuart Lamour, and David Scotson for their amazing work on the initial Bootstrap theme for Moodle, a project to which I am immensely proud to have contributed and to have seen make it into Moodle Core.
For general advice and conversations about mobile learning and Moodle during the writing of this book: Craig Taylor, Lesley Price, Nitin Parmar, Ross McKenzie, John Foord, Dan Jeffries, Lewis Carr, and Rob Englebright.
To my reviewers, whose valuable feedback and supportive comments lifted my spirits at the end of the laborious writing process.
And finally to my wife Rachel for putting up with my long nights while I was writing this book. And to my children Molly, George, and Cooper for sleeping soundly throughout. Love to you all.
