Finding the Right Program
After researching several options, Andrew chose the Digital Learning Institute for its combination of flexibility, affordability, and high-quality content. The self-paced structure allowed him to work through the material on his own time, without compromising his responsibilities in the classroom.
“I was looking for something that would suit my lifestyle. The Digital Learning Institute had an on-demand platform, which fit very well with my needs.”
Applying Knowledge in Real Time
For Andrew, the most rewarding part of the experience was developing a prototype using the concepts and tools covered in the course. He valued the chance to apply learning directly to a real project that could be used both online and in his classroom.
“Creating the prototype was incredibly rewarding. I got to act as the subject matter expert and apply intelligent design using everything I learned across the modules.”
One area that especially resonated with him was gamification—something he saw immediate application for in his daily teaching practice.
“As a classroom teacher, I understand the importance of classroom activities. Learning about gamification helped me bring even more engagement to my students.”
A Career-Aligned Learning Experience
Throughout the program, Andrew found the content to be both enlightening and practical, designed to meet the real-world needs of professionals in education.
“The tasks, the learning theories, the thinking—it was all very practical and tailored to help me further my career as an educator.”
What’s Next?
