Do you provide online training for your employees or students?
Do they prefer to learn at times and places of their choosing?
Do you seek the same effectiveness as in-person, face-to-face instruction?

  • I can communicate your intent to your computer system engineers. I can translate your learning objectives into engineering specifications so that your technical staff can build online learning systems that teach the content you want to teach.
  • I was a university professor for over 20 years. I designed online learning systems. I taught my school's entire freshmen class of 2550 students via online learning for 12 years before the COVID pandemic.
  • Now I advise schools, businesses, and government agencies. I clarify learning objectives, suggest training methods, and recommend technical features along with their advantages and limitations. I do not build or sell computer systems.

Schedule a free 30-minute online consultation.

  • I speak English and Japanese.
  • My email address is goh@kawai.com. That's my first and last name dot com.
