Learning, Education and Ed Tech Writer
For as long as I can remember, I've been fascinated by learning and education.
As technology unlocks the world's knowledge, our biggest challenges involve turning that knowledge into learning and education.
For the past five years or so, my work has involved education projects like university accreditation, program design and regulatory compliance.
I have also worked extensively in faculty management and institutional governance,
academic program review, assessment for higher education and online education and training.
Currently, I work and write about learning, design for experiential learning to self-learning and the impact of technology on the learning process.
Through the Plexo Center, my colleagues and I are working on a set of accreditation standards for independent learning. My ebook, tentatively called "Learning to Learn How to Learn" is in process, with publication scheduled for Fall of 2020.
I enjoy taking on education projects that promise to benefit students, improve education and use learning to uplift the human condition.
Over 20 years ago, author Peter Senge said that learning is the only sustainable competitive advantage. Today, learning and education are our best tools for a bright, sustainable future.
From course descriptions, catalogue policies and accreditation writing to marketing copy and blog posts, I look forward to working together to create and promote your education efforts.
