I started Online Learning Insights in 2012 when working as a Lead Curriculum Developer at a private university.  I identified a need for support of faculty and instructors creating courses for the online delivery mode, and for skills in teaching online. Online learning insights has evolved into a valued and credible source for hundreds of education professionals from over 90 countries. Read more about Online Learning Insights here.

I launched School Over Sports with the aim of raising awareness among parents, educators, coaches and community members about the issues around competitive youth sport and its effect on children's well-being, academic performance and family life. My goal is to encourage readers consider the issues, get involved, and contribute to developing a safe, healthy and positive environment for sports and school.
