I am an educational technologist, researcher and New Media designer. I have extensive commercial Web and Macromedia Flash development experience. My specialty is developing E-learning systems utilizing state of the art technologies. Most recently I developed a virtual world learning system as part of my PhD to facilitate the collaborative design of film using the Unreal 2 Engine.
I graduated as Dr on 12 June 2009 with my PhD thesis entitled "LEARNING IN A VIRTUAL WORLD: Expanding Activity theory for the design and evaluation of group praxis" from the Department of Computer Science, University of Cape Town. I completed the Master of Science "Education and Training Systems Design" at the University of Twente (The Netherlands) in 2001 with my thesis entitled: "Constructing Virtual Learning Environments: Urban Design through a Multi-user Virtual World".
This site presents my work, study, play, curriculum vitae and contact details. It is also a demonstration of my design skills. This site provides a "liquid" design layout, which flows to the dimensions of the screen and resolution, browser's rendering and font size. It is also developed according to the latest web standards and with accessibility support.
