Dr Mark Glynn: Senior executive Flexible Learning, Institute of Technology of Ireland. A chemistry graduate from the Institute of Technology of Tallaght, Dublin. After completing his degree he joined CompuPharma Ltd., a multimedia company that specialised in designing software to teach validation and pharmaceutical chemistry. He worked for 18 months there before returning to education to start his PhD in Organic Chemistry in Trinity college. After his PhD he spent just under five years working in Pharmachemical Ireland, the branch of IBEC responsible for the chemical and pharmaceutical industry. His main role within IBEC was to build relationships between the education sector and the pharmaceutical industry. Mark then worked with ITT Dublin to lecture chemistry at all levels from first year to masters students. While in ITT Dublin, Mark became the Moodle™ coordinator for the science department. Mark also works with Hibernia college to teach chemistry on-line to students studying for their post graduate certificate in education. Technology and education have been strong influences throughout his working life. In recent years the marriage of these two factors increased his capacity to deliver his classes in a flexible manner. Mark now works for the Institutes of Technology of Ireland. The main role of his present job is to increase the capacity of each institute to deliver their modules and courses in a flexible manner.
