To Whom It May Concern:
Re: Nisar Keshvani
Dear Sir or Madam:
It gives me great pleasure to provide a reference for Nisar
Keshvani. He is a ‘Research and Capacity Building Award’
Scholar with the Faculty of Education, Queensland University
of Technology from 2006 – 2010. Nisar’s relationship
with QUT dates back to 1998 – where he came as an undergraduate
student, and then pursued postgraduate study. He has worked
with us as tutor, researcher, online journalism lecturer and
then as a visiting lecturer. |
I was introduced to Nisar as a promising PhD candidate and
was impressed by his international and diverse work experience.
He has an impressive track record for a young person.

I was introduced to Nisar as a promising PhD candidate and
was impressed by his international and diverse work experience.
His career began as a print journalist, before shifting to
digital media – both to produce content and manage website
development. He grasped important concepts quickly to have
the credibility to lecture in the field. Nisar is widely published
and has consulting experience in India, Pakistan, Central
Asia and East Africa. He has an impressive track record for
a young person.
Nisar’s PhD research project is on the use of information
communication technology as an instructional interface to
develop innovative and user friendly teaching and learning
interactions. His research focuses particularly on developing
country context where the infrastructure and availability
of equipment is limited. |
I am certain with guidance, he will develop the body of knowledge
required to significantly contribute to the field. Nisar’s
intended field study in the developing world is unique as
not many candidates have the required self drive and intellectual
acumen to think ‘’outside the box’’
to deal with unconventional challenges. |
As his primary PhD supervisor, I am confident that Nisar will
pursue his PhD research with the same enthusiasm and dedication
as his previous assignments. On a personal note, I have found
Nisar to be well mannered, determined and a innovative thinker.
He adapts well to foreign environments, is culturally sensitive
and works well with people from all backgrounds.
I wish him every success and have no reservations in supporting
his application.
Yours sincerely
Hitendra Pillay
