About Me

Scott Leslie is an educational technology researcher and emerging technology analyst. He currently works as the Manager of the BCcampus Learning Resources Centre, a multi-disciplinary ‘open content’ repository. In addition, he researches course management systems, repository and eportfolio software with Dr. Bruce Landon as part of the Western Cooperative on Educational Telecommunications’ (WCET) Edutools.info team.

Previously, Scott was the research coordinator for educational technology at the Centre for Curriculum, Transfer and Technology (C2T2), a post-secondary system agency in British Columbia, Canada. Mr. Leslie was also the webmaster at both Mount Royal College and The Banff Centre for Continuing Education, and an instructor for the PanCanadian EdTech Summer Institute. He holds a combined honors BA in English and Philosophy from the University of Western Ontario, and a MA in Critical and Cultural Theory from the University of Wales, College Cardiff. His thesis was on post-structuralist narrative, cyberspace and the death-drive within William Gibson’s Neuromancer, and this along with some other kooky stuff eventually got him a job doing visualizations of complex knowledge systems, working with Lotus Notes and building Internet services.

Scott lives in Victoria, B.C. with his wife Sian, and their two kids, Calum (5)and Kaya (2 1/2). When he’s not overwhelmed by running his own business and taking care of two young kids, Scott enjoys playing bass guitar, running, gardening and reading on a multitude of topics.
