Hi Everyone
My name is Anupam, I am a part time lecturer at the School of Business, Otago Polytechnic. My main experience has been in International Trading in India and Taiwan. I moved to New Zealand in 1996 to do an MBA at the Otago University. During 96-98 there was a big currency crisis in SE Asia and I could not even get half-the-job I was used to so I decided to start my own business. I set up a specialist vegetarian restaurant in Dunedin and ran that for 7 years. In 2006 I realised my PD had stalled and it was time for a change. I sold the restaurant and took up part time teaching.
The reason why I am doing this course is first to see how I can increase the student experience and enhance their learning (without increasing costs), and then to look at the future of education delivery in general and how I can play a part in it. I have a 7 yr old daughter. My wife works at the Polytechnic as a lecturer in the School of Fashion.
I am looking forward to this experience

hello anupam
it is really good to meet you online and hear about how you ended up teaching in NZ. You may be interested in doing a ROI (return on investment) analysis as part of your evaluation project. early days yet and you have lots of experience to draw on. you might like to copy some of this information on your wonderful first post into your blog profile.
