In this episode, he joins host Jannah Amiel, RN to discuss what the company has accomplished thus far and what lies ahead as COVID-19 has made online learning a necessity. “The goal isn't just to embrace technology, it's to leverage the technology to make the educational experience more human,” says Baker. You will learn what Baker believes will be the next transformation in online learning, the power of a mastery-based approach, and the importance of pursuing your passions.
