Sorry to have missed you yesterday, especially as the reason was your dental emergency - I've broken two teeth and know what it's like.
Looking forward to making up for it with a meeting in near future, at your convenience. Meanwhile, heal quickly.
Regards.

Thank you for your response. I am grateful for any assistance that you may be able to afford me.
And please accept my apology for referring to you in my earlier comment as Tracy - though you surely knew to whom I was addressing my comment, it still was a bit careless nonetheless.
Kind regards.

I have just joined Project Connect and have already found an excellent prospective contact with Lisa. I have similar interests in familiarizing with eLearning development and have proposed we collaborate. There was also a note from Rhys Moult to Lisa that she contact you and I am pursuing that lead here.
I am seeking employment and any references or resources to help me develop contacts here in Adelaide and further my skills in general. What follows is a copy, in part, of the introduction I wrote to Lisa earlier today.
-----------------------
I am a recent immigrant to Adelaide from the US (New York City) where I've had a long career in technical training and training development, including blended learning and dedicated e-Learning.
This week I attended a jobs forum/workshop presented by the Skills Recognition Service of the SA Dept of Education and found myself in a room with nearly one hundred immigrant job seekers, most with poor English skills. We were told that, in pursuit of employment, we needed more than anything else to a) develop English skills and b) attain local work experience.
I decided to get some local work experience and have offered free English language coaching to the group, and thirty have signed up so far. They are from all areas of Adelaide metro and suburbs and while I am looking for a classroom space from TAFE and other organizations, I am wondering if an e-Learning experience can be set up for them to facilitate the large geographical coverage.
Would you be interested in collaborating on the development of ESL online delivery? I have to tell you that my prior work experience with e-Learning has been corporate, where the IT department provided all network setup and support and my primary involvement was in content development, learning assessment and student certification. I am, however, looking forward to developing broader skills in delivery methods and controls and see this as a superb opportunity (I am also pursuing my Cert IV in Training and Assessment with TAFE and look forward to using these skills extensively in future.)

Tracy, any assistance you may be able to offer, with any referral or advice you may have, to help me start my career in Adelaide will be extremely helpful amd most appreciated.
Thank you for your time and attention. I look forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards.
