Laura Czerniewicz

Director

Laura Czerniewicz is the Director of the Centre for Innovation in Learning and Teaching (CILT), at the University of Cape Town, CILT's first director when it was formed in 2014. She is presently an associate professor (and a full professor from January 2019). She has worked in education in a number of roles with a continuous focus on inequality, access and digital inequality. These have permeated her research interests which include the changing nature of higher education in a digitally-mediated society as well as student and academic technological practices. She is currently the South African lead on an ESRC NRF funded project on the Unbundled University, researching emerging models of teaching and learning provision. 

She has played a key strategic and scholarly role in the areas of blended and online learning as well as open education. 

An NRF-rated researcher, Laura has published widely, both formally and informally. Her research output can be found at  http://uct.academia.edu/LauraCzerniewicz and many of her presentations at https://www.slideshare.net/laura_Cz. She can be followed on Twitter at @czernie.
