Dr Paul Richards

I am originally an OU graduate myself, gaining a BSc in Computing with first class honours. I worked in IT for over 15 years in varied roles, mostly with SQL databases. Latterly I programmed in Java and C# and was a web developer. I also gained a PhD from Aston University in AI (case-based reasoning).

I occasionally do some OU modules for continuing professional development:

• H880 Educational Technology 2020: gaining a PgCert(ODE)
• M817 Systems Security 2023

I have been an OU tutor since 2015 and work on M250, M269, TM252, TM256, M359 and TM470. My interests include software development, algorithms and combinatorics type puzzles.
