Why Distance Learning?

Jan Zanetis is a distance learning pioneer who spent 20 years in K-12 and higher ed before working for DL powerhouses TANDBERG and Cisco Systems. In 2013, she became the Managing Director at the Center for Interactive Learning and Collaboration. Jan retired from CILC in 2022 where she mentored cohost Tami Moehring and was a clear and present inspiration to cohost Allyson Mitchell. Due to these close relationships, be forewarned that this episode gets a little sappy! Now freshly retired, Jan - who literally wrote the book (or, rather, several books) on distance learning - shares some extremely practical knowledge about the medium, talks about the power of publishing, and shares her secrets on how to be a successful female leader in a tech world dominated by men.   You can always keep up with Allyson and Tami at the Center for Interactive Learning and Collaboration (CILC) here: https://bit.ly/445KkjM As always you can stay connected with Seth at Banyan Global Learning here: https://bit.ly/3NOScAn
