To achieve this mandate, the centre’s work is informed by design-based research. Results are used to improve staff development training programmes and student learning. Staff development activities include workshops, a short course on blended learning, learner analytics and various other projects. The centre also mentors academics towards design-based research and writing for publications. It also coaches them in the delivery of conference presentations. During 2020, some CIET staff members were involved in designing and delivering some of the short courses offered by the Cape Higher Education Consortium (CHEC).
