Dr Rosemary Quilling is a senior lecturer in the field of Information Systems and Technology at the School of Management, Information Technology and Governance at University of KwaZulu-Natal.

The NextEd philosophy is to provides a collaborative environment where all participants collaborate on an equal footing, and contribute and benefit in a collaborative style.
