When courses are easy to navigate, everyone benefits. Teachers save time, learners stay focused, and families feel more connected.
In our latest Beyond the Canvas episode, Regional Director Gemma McLean sits down with Jen Walsh, Customer Success Manager APAC at CidiLabs.
With years of classroom experience and her current work supporting schools, Jen shares practical steps that help teachers design courses that are consistent, accessible, and manageable.
