About Us
Dan O’Brien established OPEUS (www.opeus.com) in 1999 to provide web-based software to enhance teaching, learning and leadership. He works closely with educators at all levels, listening carefully to their needs and understanding their context. This care allows Dan and the team at OPEUS to design distinctive solutions that blend simplicity and ease-of-use with power and functionality. Dan is described by those who work with him as a down-to-earth realist, with a true passion for new technology and its effective use in education. An education expert recently said, "Dan, really understands schools, students and learning - he is no geek but, my goodness, he knows how to make technology work for us". Background As the creator of one of the first electronic portfolio systems in 1999 Dan is regarded as a pioneer in the pedagogical use of internet technology - a trend which has continued over the years as he created virtual learning environments, curriculum mapping tools, class-blogging systems, online resource directories and web 2.0 teaching tools. All of these have been rolled out in hundreds of schools, colleges and universities across the world. Current work: As a "hands-on" Director at OPEUS - Dan leads a team of education technologists in the start-to-finish process of product design, development and delivery. He collaborates closely with a number of key educational professionals who contribute to the “outer team” involved with OPEUS. | ![]() Glaisdale Drive East Bilborough Nottingham NG8 4JJ Tel: 0115 929 3419 Fax: 0115 954 1266 Email: info@opeus.org Web: www.opeus.com |
