about
Distance Learning
As education continues to transform, developing new capabilities, leveraging technology while maintaining personal connections is more important than ever. I offer everything from asynchronous learning to fully featured Google classrooms.
Coaching development in small teams or individually up to virtual classrooms of 80 participants, there are many options.
In person collaboration is hard to replace. By working together on-site, relationship building is taken to a new level. These opportunities emerge throughout the day in unexpected ways. Often during breaks or at lunch we find barriers being broken down.
On-Site work facilitates scalability and flexibility. By dynamically adjusting content, diving deeper or furthering the collaboration, on-site learning provides a versatile experience hard to replace digitally.
