Introduction

My name is Raheel Lakhani and I have worked as an associate for blended learning for around 4 years where I have trained university-faculty for integrating technology in their blended learning courses. As part of my work responsibilities, I also designed blended learning courses for the university in Pakistan and East Africa. Currently, I work as a manager, digital publication at an international publishing press.

I am a recipient of High Honors in Master of Education from The Aga Khan University. I also participated as a digital innovator in an academic scholarship program ‘Social Innovation in Digital Context’ at Lund University funded by Swedish Institute, where I explored the development of a digital storytelling approach for promotion of pluralistic and creative expression. From this program, I hold a Master of Arts in Technology and Social Change from the same program.

I am also a self-taught photographer, published in two coffee-table books and participated in few local and international competitions / exhibitions. His interests include eLearning pedagogy, learner’s autonomy, freedom of expression and pluralism, visual/textual narratives and digital collaborations.

I have joined ONL162 as an open-learner and looking forward to learning from course facilitators and participants. I believe, the diversity of group will make our learning more holistic and interesting.
