My background is one of diversity surrounding my specialty of eLearning.
eLearning and its implementation do not take place in a vacuum.
Introducing any new concept or way of doing business involves changes in people's behaviors,
organizations and people's roles within them, ways of thinking and looking at the world,
and seeing opportunities in the challenges that change brings.
Look at my educational history and you'll see a Ph.D. from Stanford University's School of Education, two
master's degrees in Sociology and Arts Administration, plus the equivalent of an MBA.
You'll see a focus of studies on the relationships between
people and their environments, especially in educational and nonprofit institutions.
Some of the topics include: innovation and change, negotiation, sociology, organizational development, and teams.
I have demonstrated my abilities in a number of areas.
I feel that my experience, positive personality and education enable me to work well with university professors in assisting
them to adapt their courses to an eLearning environment.
The integration of my experiences means that I can assist you with your organizational and eLearning projects.
I'm also available for Norwegian - English translation projects.
