Webinar Recording: How Ease Skillways™ promotes retention and equity

If you weren’t able to join us for the webinar in real-time, please enjoy the recording and share with your colleagues!

To foster retention and equity, the focus needs to shift to designing for students’ learning needs and enabling them to demonstrate outcomes and acquire skills.  What was needed was a technology that was informed by UDL (Universal Design for Learning) principles. This concept is at the heart of Ease Skillways, which augments any LTI compliant LMS. Skillways’ underlying design, delivery and measure methodology was created through a collaboration between Laurie Pulido and the design team at Ease Learning that has twenty-years of experience designing student-centric curriculum. Chris Vento, an active leader and contributor in the ed tech industry and interoperability standards, has been shepherding the platform architecture and product feature direction while guiding the development team at Ease Learning.
