Data Powered Education - The Crossroads of Science and Learning
What is Big Data? In this course we will try to humanize this thing called Big Data and extract relevant principles of Data Science. We will also reimagine the ADDIE model and hopefully except an invitation to venture into hard curiosity.
As a Certified Training and Development Professional (CTDP) with years of experience working with associations, I am currently the Executive Director of the Institute for Performance and Learning or I4PL. Our purpose is to elevate the performance of the Canadian workforce.
I’m a former Global Training & Development Manager turned Psychotherapist (what a mouthful!) with 16 years’ experience leading learning initiatives across tech, Trust & Safety, and mental health. My early career was all about designing large-scale learning programs, building teams, and helping fast-paced organizations (think silicon-valley-tech-giants-in-crisis mode!) develop psychologically-safe cultures and processes. I’m a graduate member of the Psychological Society of Ireland (PSI) and the American Psychological Association (APA), and professionally registered with the HCPC, IACAT, and BAAT. Fully Garda-vetted, I work in line with BAAT and IACAT’s codes of practice.
