Dear Reader

It is an absolute pleasure to welcome you to the second addition of TELIT-TALK digital magazine. With embracing change through the COVID-19 times, the members of TELIT-SA adapted to the new mode of online teaching and our second academic lead TELIT-TALK digital publication offers a combination of videos, stories, infographics, and articles of our members’ experiences. TELIT-SA had a successful AGMwhere the members discussed the way forward and how we envision the future of the research entity. More than 30 Personal Development Plans were either adapted or created to ensure the future and continuous development of the members. Currently we have multiple projects that ensure that our unit adapt and are on the forefront of technology enhanced teaching and learning.

We would also like to congratulate some of our members who improved their post graduate qualifications. Only through your effort and hard work we will be able to grow as an entity. We also congratulate Prof Terrence Kommal, our Professor of Practice, for his work and the continuous engagement with topics relating to the impact of COVID-19 on South Africa. This edition provides a screen cap of some of the achievements in the first semester of 2021. We look forward to the third edition to share how we continuous aim to re-invent higher education through research informed teaching and learning with technology. TELIT-TALK for YOU!!

You are welcome to contact telit-sa@nwu.ac.za if you would like to contribute.

Thank you,

Verona (previous director)
