Hello... I am David Batty and I am the tutor for this course. I have been on the Internet since 1997. I used to run my own bulletin board for ten years prior to that when I set up my home/business computer so that people could ring it overnight to contact other people using a modem. So I was providing social media services back in 1987.

I have spent over 2000 hours in the virtual world of Second Life and I was possibly about the first person to teach courses about Ebay back in 2002 when most people had not heard of it. I am a daily user of most of the above technologies and have been writing and developing computer software since 1982.

I started the first computer shows in the North of England back in the 1980's, I run a software house selling my own products and services and I also find time to deliver between 2 and 9 computer courses a week.
