  Chimbo Bester is a
  Experienced Associate Professor with a demonstrated history of working in the higher education sector. Skilled in Lecturing, Curriculum Development, Research, Undergraduate Teaching, and Higher Education. Strong education professional with a PhD in Information Systems. The focus of her PhD research was on the cooperative design of a cross-age tutoring system based on a social networking platform. The main contribution of this research was the definition of the Cooperative design by the Children for Children (CD2C) Design Framework, a blueprint of how a cross-age tutoring system could be co-designed by children of different age groups and life circumstances. The CD2C Design Framework was derived as an abstraction of the second contribution of this research, the TitanTutor, an artifact designed using the co-operative inquiry method and the Design Science Research approach. The third novelty of this research was the contribution to Design Science Research theory, with the addition of a new theory that states that cooperative design by children from different age groups and life circumstances is tempered by socio-environmental context and power relations between the co-design partners. This work provided important contributions to researchers in the areas of Cooperative Inquiry (CI), Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Design Science Research (DSR), and Pedagogical affordance of Virtual Reality (VR). Future researchers could extend the CD2C Design Framework to make it even more abstract, thereby making it universally applicable to any co-design scenario. Her academic career started in 2006 at the University of South Africa (UNISA) where she eventually coordinated the HCI laboratory from 2009 to 2013 then from 2019 to date.
