TESTIMONIAL

"I wanted to give a BIG THANKS for the courses in Instructional Design I took from you this past year for the certification program. The insights and knowledge has made such a huge difference in my work across the board… from my role as a contract Instructional Design developer to my in-person teaching at CIA.

CIA revamped their LMS this past summer and it gave me the much needed push to also revamp my syllabus. I put my new-found ID certification skills to work and WOW … it’s only midterms here and the difference in my student’s work is just amazing! They are better prepared for class, seem to grasp concepts quicker and more easily, and are way more motivated and engaged than in years past."
