“As a classroom teacher, I observed how the structure and presentation of online instruction greatly affected my students’ achievement. Earning my Master’s degree as a remote student drove home that point from a learner’s point of view. I come at online learning with these two lenses. Being part of the Learning and Development team at Magellan Learning Solutions allows me to support instructors and institutions as they take their online courses to the next level.”
