Daniel received the award in the 'Student Podcasting' category, for heading a project that began recording and podcasting the weekly seminars given by the African Studies Centre (Thursdays), the African History & Politics Seminar (Mondays), and the Global and Imperial History Seminar (Fridays).  He also assisted with the recording of the Kofi Annan talk for Exeter's 700th Anniversary celebration at the Sheldonian Theatre in February.

The OxTALENT annual awards recognise those who have made use of ICT to foster learning and academic practice at either undergraduate or postgraduate level.  The College would like to congratulate Daniel on his achievement.
