Instructor

This workshop will be led by industry pioneer Jonathan Finkelstein, founder of the CSTP program, executive producer of LearningTimes, and author of Learning in Real Time (Wiley / Jossey-Bass).

Few people have spent more time in real-time online learning environments facilitating and working with others to create effective learning experiences worthy of the live online medium.

Jonathan is also host of the Real Time Minute, a regular online program about synchronous collaboration and learning. The son of two New York City public school teachers, Jonathan graduated with honors from Harvard University.
