Who am I?
I'm Monika from Mindset . I am the health content co-ordinator for Mindset Health, which means that I am involved in developing and reviewing content for the Health channel. I need to ensure that all the content is aligned with the Department of Health, government policy and requirements, and the latest research results and recommendations. Thus, I need to make sure that Mindset Health produces reliable and valid content by ensuring the quality assurance processes are adhered to and refined throughout the content development processes.

My professional experience
I started my educational career working for a consulting company, designing, developing and implementing HIV/AIDS training and workplace programmes. I then joined the University of Witwatersrand, where I was involved in the development and implmentation of their new problem-based and web-run medical curriculum, which is based on the Sydney medical curriculum. I then joined a learning consulting company, where I designed and developed learning programmes for corporates. I am now working at Mindset, a not-for-profit, non-government organisation which produces digital educational content for all school learners and those within the health area.I am specifically based in the Health channel where content is produced in video, worksheet and interactive computer lesson formats. In addition, videos on a variety of health issues have been sourced or produced for the public to watch while waiting in clinics and hospitals.
