Mary-Ann Fife

Although my undergrad and experience thus far has been in Marketing, I have always been interested in some of the big questions around education. I recently joined the CCD team, and work mainly on the Massively Open Online Course (MOOC) project.

With the explosion of technological developments in recent years, I’ve become particularly interested in how we can use technology to support educational goals such as student motivation, increased engagement and interactivity. This curiosity led me to pursue a MPhil (ICTs in Education) – a programme jointly run by the School of Education and Centre for Innovation in Learning and Teaching (CILT) here at UCT. I am roughly half way through the Masters programme now and am privileged to be grappling with questions like: “How do we effectively leverage the power of technology to improve learning and teaching?” as part of my studies as well as my job #winning
