Next To Continue is a blog and information resource specifically about learning technology. If you are interested in using technology to help people learn or if you want to learn how to make our own e-learning materials, then Next To Continue is the place to start.

Next To Continue was set up by Rob Alton and Mike Richardson, veterans of the interactive learning industry since the 1980s.

The site is based on WordPress and includes a custom theme. PodPress has also been implemented to enable the delivery of the NextToContinue podcasts.

This Project Portfolio illustrates a variety of our projects in all sectors throughout the United Kingdom. The firm has a significant market share in Scotland and the East of England and was nominated as the ‘Best Services Engineers 2005’ in the Prospect Magazine survey of 200 architects in Scotland.

We were commissioned to develop an intranet that enabled all staff members throughout the UK to share expertise, information and documents.

The site is based on Joomla with extensive customisation including:

• PDF previews
• Google Maps integration
• Custom search using JQuery

How many times have you been delayed but not made a note of the day and time? Over the period of a few months, that soon adds up to lots of frustration and valid claim for a refund from your train operator.

This site is designed so that you can enter details of your delayed journeys and other commuters will do the same. That way, when the end of the month comes around, you have a record of all the delays on your regular route that you can then use to submit a claim for a refund.

Simple.

The brief was to create a full colour 1.2m square design to be printed onto pvc and used at the many conventions and exhibitions that Fabio attends. We wanted a distinctive, eye-catching design that also conveyed the important contact information easily.

Through Freeze Frame the Institute presents some 20,000 images from these collections covering Arctic and Antarctic expeditions from 1845 to 1985.

• CONSERVE: Preserving the images for future generations.
• DIGITISE: Providing access to some of the most important visual resources for research into British polar exploration.
• EXPLORE: Discover polar environments through the eyes of those explorers and scientists who dared to go into the last great wildernesses on earth.

We were responsible for deisgning the Freeze Frame logo which represents the positive and negative photographic processes and reflects the contrast of the collection. We also designed a custom WordPress theme and worked with developers in the Univeristy of Cambridge who were responsible for interfacing with SPRI’s cataloguing system.

We were responsible for designing and building the site using WordPress Multiuser. This allows the core programme to host the blogs and pages of the projects within TEL. Each project has its own website with a distinctive look and feel.

The site aggregates several internal and external RSS feeds and presents them on a single page. There is a Google calendar feed integrated for the events section. Also part of this project was to design and produce key graphic elements to support the 4 recurring themes.

The site was launched on 31st October 2008.

We were responsible for the initial site based on Joomla. This provides a directory of Internet radio stations that Reciva radio owners can manage and download to their device.

The site involved customising existing components and writing new code to integrate with the Reciva database systems.

Giles Hutchison, CEO of Reciva commented:

“Mike helped specify and then designed the first (and best) incarnation of the Reciva web site. He was very good, listened to what we wanted, had good ideas of his own, and then implemented the design customisising Joomla as necessary. I would happily hire Mike again.”

A crucial part of the process of selecting a tattooist is their portfolio. The frontpage includes a random image from the galleries. There are multiple categories in the gallerys and the website owner is able to add new pictures themselves at any time.

The website also includes guestbook and FAQs.

We were responsible for designing and building the site.

There is a sophisticated fully CSS-based menu which is placed over the rotating images in the header.

The site features a professional slide show component to showcase the properties, area and activities. The slide show software allows the site owner create new galleries and upload images as needed.

All of the content on the site is managed by the client using Joomla.
