About Me
[edit | edit source]
I'm a physiotherapy educator based at a university in the Western Cape of South Africa. I'm interested in social media and other emerging technologies to facilitate enhanced teaching and learning practice in physiotherapy education.
I'm also a Doctoral student looking at undergraduate curriculum development in our department in light of new technologies and how they enable communication at deeper levels than are currently possible.
