Kamuka Pati
Winner of Unitec Innovation in Teaching and Learning Award 2011.

Kamuka's creative thinking and student-centered teaching style have resulted in "revolutionising" trade education at Unitec.

As part of his study in Social Learning Technologies, he developed the "Smart Shed," an innovative working environment where Web 2.0 tools and other technology resources are made available to students working within the construction site. The 'Smart Shed' has become the benchmark for other training providers within New Zealand as well as internationally.
