My name is Maria Toro-Troconis and I am super excited that you are reading this!

I have worked in the area of Digital Learning for over 20 years in Higher Education Institutions in the UK, including 10 years as Senior Lecturer and Head of E-learning at the School of Medicine – Imperial College London.

I developed the Blended Learning Design Framework (BLEnDT©) at Imperial College London and the CoDesignS Framework at the University of Liverpool. I have produced several publications, including a chapter on the role of Blended Learning in the delivery of World Health Education as part of a systematic review of eLearning for Health Sciences Education led by the World Health Organisation (WHO).

I am the Founder and Director of the Learning Design Bootcamp in the UK. The Bootcamp provides an intensive four months programme for Learning Technologists and academics engaging in the design and development of a 15 or 30 credit module of their choice. I am also the Founder and Director of the CoDesignS Education for Sustainable Development project.

From my courses you will straight away notice how I combine my real-life experience and academic background in Digital Learning and Learning Design to deliver professional step-by-step coaching and training in the space of Learning Design.

To sum up, I am absolutely passionate about Learning Design and I am looking forward to sharing my passion and knowledge with you!
