Kashief Gamieldien About -| - | linkedin.com/in/kashief-gamieldien-649b1535 | I am a senior learning designer, content developer, and structural editor with nearly ten years of experience in e-learning. I have structured and developed a range of engaging and meaningful online learning solutions. Despite constraints of time and technology, my creativity and methodical approach has lifted every project off the ground successfully. My strength lies applying a process-driven mindset alongside a sensitivity to the wider systems and operations that shape project success. Therefore, I use dual-lens approach that considers both: How individuals learn (cognitive science) How learning fits into larger systems (systems thinking) My design practice is rooted in the values of inclusivity, transparency, and accessibility.

Africa Project: Siyalingana: Promoting Gender Equality in Early Childhood Development Kashief Gamieldien Portfolio Client: VVOB (Flemish Association for Development Cooperation and Technical Assistance), an NPO aiming to improve education in developing countries. Project: Redevelop a blended learning programme that teaches Grade R educators across South Africa the theory and practice of gender-responsive pedagogy. The programme has three components: an online course on Moodle, facilitator guides and presentation decks for in-person workshops, and graphics for WhatsApp messages shared during the programme. A key goal was to create an interactive online course while prioritising accessibility for mobile-first users new to online learning. We identified Canva as a tool for developing the materials for the workshops and WhatsApp messages. The documents could be distributed easily and the client would be capable of updating content after the project. -| - | linkedin.com/in/kashief-gamieldien-649b1535 | Woodstock, CPT, S.

Africa Project: Tobacco Taxation 101 Kashief Gamieldien Portfolio Client: The Research Unit on the Economics of Excisable Products (REEP) is a research unit at the University of Cape Town (UCT). It focuses on the economics of tobacco, alcohol, and sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs), aiming to inform public policy. Project: Transform a set of videos into a synchronous online course using UCT’s Amathuba platform (built on Brightspace). The course explains the rationale and best practices for tobacco taxation. It’s aimed at policymakers and civil society members. Previously, REEP delivered the course through in-person/live presentations. An online course would allow participants to engage with the complex and technical content at their own pace, while reducing the resource demands on REEP. We identified Canva as a tool for developing the materials for the workshops and WhatsApp messages. The documents could be distributed easily and the client would be capable of updating content after the project. -| Tobacco Taxation 101 - | Why is tobacco taxation SMART government policy? linkedin.com/in/kashief-gamieldien-649b1535 | Woodstock, CPT, S. Africa S aves lives Mobilises resources A ddresses health inequities R educes burdens on health systems T argets tobacco use Tobacco taxation saves lives. Raise tobacco tax : NING WAR ttes Cigare tive ddic are a Tobacco kills around 8 million people every year Tobacco use is the leadingcause of preventable deaths globally—it claims 8 million lives each year. Tobacco taxation is the most effective mechanism for reducing tobacco consumption and its associated health burden worldwide. Government policies that increase tobacco prices and make tobacco products less affordable save lives. Lower death and disease The evidence indicates tax-led price increases are the most impactful and cost-effective measures for reducing tobacco use and saving lives. These policies work because increasing the excise tax encourages smokers to quit tobacco use and discourages young people from taking up smoking. It is important that the tax increase applies to all tobacco products to prevent people from switching. (WHO, 2021b) Tobacco taxation mobilises revenues. US $361 1.8% US$1.4 Trillion Tobacco use causes poor health, which reduces productivity and impacts general economic well-being. Economic losses due to health expenses and lost productivity alone were estimated to equal US$ 1.4 trillion in 2012 (about 1.8% of the global GDP) (Goodchild, Nargis, & Tursan d'Espaignet, 2018). billion WA R Cig NIN are arett G: add es ictiv e Tobaccotaxationunlocksfinance for healthcareandvariousother initiatives. The revenuepotentialfrom taxingtobacco products is huge and is especiallysignificant for countries with high tobacco use. Based on available data on the price and taxation of cigarettes, it is estimated that excise taxes generated a worldwide total of US$ 361 billion in revenues in 2018, including US$ 162 billion in revenues for low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Despite being the single most effective tobacco control measure, tobacco taxation is largely underutilised as a policy mechanism.

Africa Kashief Gamieldien Portfolio Project: The Jackson Laboratory Teaching the Genome Generation (TtGG™): Human Genetic Variation Virtual Lab Curriculum Client: The Jackson Laboratory (JAX) is an independent, non-profit biomedical research institution based in the USA. The learning assets progressively build understanding of the genetic analysis process. Project: Develop a genomics-focused learning pathway for JAX on LabXchange, aimed at high school learners. The project involves nine interactive learning assets, including a simulation. The simulation would be designed to depict a laboratory environment for learners without access to lab facilities. It would also prepare learners who could apply the research protocol in a real lab. We identified Canva as a tool for developing the materials for the workshops and WhatsApp messages.
