Experience Counts
This online acedemy has been designed with you, the technologist, in mind - based on the experience, research, consulting engagements and teaching assignments that Baxter Thompson Associates have had the privilege to deliver over the past 15 years.
You will benefit from the associate’s extensive own experience in the field from conducting partnering. The course will include relevant examples and case studies.
Learn from our experience when you want and where you want with the Online Academy.
The Acedemy is a state of the art learning platform that can be used on tablet, pc or phone and that adopts many of the best pedogogical practices. You have your own personal account and unlimited access for the duration of the course.
Typical time commitment per week is between 1 - 2 hours over a period of 3 months. Each course follows a simple framework that allows you to plan ahead.
The courses represent approximately 50% theory and 50% practice through presenting case studies, simple frameworks, discussion and exercises. The online courses are taken from live public workshops with dialogue, questions and perspectives from attendees, in addition to the trainer sharing their experience.
