Today I speak with Bianca Raby. Bianca is the Founder & CEO at Oppida where her and her growing team are committed to raising the bar in online education. Bianca refers to herself as a 'purist educator', now edtrepreneur taking a stand for learning design which she believes has been sorely neglected in recent history. Starting her life as a K through 12 teacher, she's now also enjoyed an enviable career in Higher Education making a marked and meaningful impact at a raft of quality organisations along the way.

Bianca holds a B.Ed. Primary Education from the University of South Australia and an MBA from Melbourne Business School.

Bianca removes the gloves when speaking about the importance of deliberate and intentional learning design and we touch on many topics including:

For Bianca, active learning is tough, and needs to be in order to build capability and effective application of learning. She is a supremely knowledgeable expert in her field and a strong advocate for more effective learning design in Higher Education - please visit her website at www.oppida.co or navigate to her LinkedIn profile to follow her progress. I'm sure that you will learn a lot from the next 30 minutes - I certainly did, so with that, I bring you Bianca Raby.
