  • Why this Class is for You.
  • Teaching online using virtual classroom and video conferencing technology has become a requirement for educators and trainers around the globe, but how many have had any professional development training.  Many of you will have trained to teach and deliver training in a face-to-face environment which requires a different skill set to the online environment.  I have been teaching and training for over 30 years.  In the last 10 I have specialised in remote teaching for the world’s biggest EdTech companies.  I will bring my depth of experience and research evidence to bear to provide you with a roadmap to success.  And a little more - I will add another layer - I have curated some of the best freely available tools to give your live teaching sessions that extra polish!Who is this course for?.
