I’m Niall McNulty, Director of Product and Innovation, Sub-Saharan Africa, Cambridge University Press & Assessment, based in Cape Town. I design and deliver AI programmes for ministries and education organisations across Sub-Saharan Africa, the Gulf and Latin America, with a particular interest in how African teachers use AI in their own contexts.
Selected work is on the Work page: AI-assisted publishing for a national ministry, UNICEF/GPE’s Digital Education Leadership Programme, KFAS / KHDA / ADEK, and the accredited Designing Assessments with AI course.
