Team

Co-founder : Jessie Chuang

With career experiences across different fields, I have built capacities in researching, team and project management. I had my master degree in Electronic Engineering and hold more than 20 U.S. patents as I led a development team of R&D. Then I transferred my career to become a business cost consultant for 5 years, worked with different levels from CEO to clerks to drive results.  After that my family immigrated to US for our children’s education. The reason I founded Classroom Aid was because I wanted to learn how to learn and what education should be like in this fast-changing world. Although I had teacher certification, I believed the answer wasn’t in it. I am not a “rule follower”, like to learn ideas from diversified fields and always think of learning from a learner’s point of view. In short, I am a professional learner.

I like to share that open educational resources(OERs) are the knowledge building blocks for this century, if you join my course “Creating Curriculum from OER” on Digital Learning Tree, you’ll become a professional learner too.

“Learning is most effective when it’s personalised; it means something to the learner. That happens when people feel they are participants and investors in their own learning, shaping what and how they learn, and able to articulate its value to them.” — Leadbeater, Charles
