Biographical Information

Graduated from the University of the Western Cape with an undergraduate degree in 2001. Spent about 5 years moving between England, Ireland and California before coming back to Cape Town. During that period I also got my Masters degree, looking at the use of information and communication among South African physiotherapy students.

I'm currently registered for a PhD, the progress of which I host on a publicly accessible wiki at http://www.mrowe.co.za/doku.php/phd_progress. I blog at http://www.mrowe.co.za/blog, which I use primarily as a means of reflection for the things that interest me around technology in education.
