Miné de Klerk

Miné de Klerk (MBA, PhD candidate) is an educational advisor at the Stellenbosch University Centre for Learning Technologies (CLT), South Africa. Her professional portfolio includes the development of academically rigorous online learning offerings - ranging from formally accredited, hybrid courses to open educational resources such as MOOCs. She draws from her experience in the international e-learning and media industries, as well as the CLT’s scholarly approach, to navigate the complex interface between ICTs and higher education infrastructures. She remains (critically) optimistic in her continual pursuit of developing virtual classrooms that are responsive to local contexts, enable critical dialogue and establish learning communities that transcend geographical borders.
