My Courses and Tutorials

Blended learning (instructor-directed) and remote learning (self-directed) share a singular mission: to allow the student to learn where and how they choose.

Quick Start® tutorials

I create Quick Start video shorts of How-To tutorials on a variety of topics:

  • Desktop publishing (InDesign, KDP, …)
