About me
I am an Education Advisor/Consultant for MaxKnowledge. I write courses that assist in the professional development of career college instructors. These courses range in content from the introductory level to advanced instructional development. I started my teaching career as an instructional technology teacher on the high school level, completed graduate school and then moved into higher education. I spent many years in the area of teacher training at the University of Nebraska. While at the University of Nebraska I stared working with career college instructors to improve their instructional delivery skills. As a result of these experiences I have been a consultant to career colleges throughout the United States and a number of foreign countries.
Your point is well made in terms of the educator being the catalyst for learner engagement and enhanced learning. The intent of the statement about the power of data is that data helps to clarify and guide instructors as they create adaptive learning tools that will be effective with students. The "human factor" meaning the instructor is still the linch pin in the learning process.
