Vernon Spain

Hello and welcome to my demo site

My name is Vernon Spain and I'm an experienced and professional educator with a history of value-added education management and support roles that have heavily emphasised the use of technology to manage teachers and programs, support the teaching process through new and interesting delivery techniques, and support students and administration staff. I have a variety of demos accessible below and can take you on a tour if requested.

    SMS

    This is my demo of GibbonEdu. It features a full set of tools that include student management, curriculum management, scheduling and finances.


    It's mostly for self training as I frequently blow it away to try new ideas.

    Invoicing

    This is actually my live invoicing site that I use for consulting. I've been using Invoice Ninja for a bout 4 years and have found it stable, reliable, and fairly easy to theme.

     I haven't run any invoices through it for over a year but keep it handy just in case.

    Live Chat

    It is what it says it is. A well set-out live chat tool (see below bottom-right) that allows you to add live chat functionality to your website. 

    A good tool-set with different types of embed widgets like the chat one on this page. Can sense language and more. Can be styled and modded.

    Ticket Tracker

    A full featured support and ticketing system that can integrate with Live Helper chat, supply a knowledge base of information, and supply canned responses and more. 

    Supports the normal Ticketing system tools including SLA and can use plugins to improve functions

    Moodle 3.8 Demo

    This is a very rough Moodle dev site which might cease existing at any time. I use this to test new features and keep my plugins up to date. 




       

    If you need a walkthrough of something or wish some test space this is where I would place you.
