This is the personal blog of Milton Broome, the digital avatar of University of Derby Lecturer in Psychology Simon Bignell. The avatar is a proxy for Psychology teaching and research in 3D multi-user virtual environments.

I teach a range of Psychology modules both to campus-based and distance learners. These include my final-year course 'Autism, Asperger's and ADHD' and a range of modules across Developmental and Cognitive Psychology.
