Testimonials of Courses Participants
"I highly recommend the course, "Fundamentals of Curriculum Development" for those interested in learning the Kern's model to curriculum design and especially applying use of AI to each of the six steps in the model. Having the course taught by the master and developer himself and an expert in AI was a highlight! Even if one is familiar with the six-step approach, the application of AI is a new skill that is worth learning and applying."
​— John Encandela, Executive Director of Evaluation & Assessment, Yale University School of Medicine
