Bernie Chats

Is education as we know it a thing of the past?

We discuss this and more in this Bernie Chat with Bernardo Robledo, MBA, MIB.

I first met Bernardo when we were studying foreign trade at BCIT. Since then, he translated and exported the entire FITT program to South America.

During #COVID times, he's led a team in what he refers to as a "crazy race" to produce about 50 full-time online courses for a private college with campuses across Canada.

Listen as we discuss how students as adapting as well as some of the E-learning course creation processes, opportunities, oversights and the tools his team uses (list of online tools provided in the show notes).
