In February 2020, Kim and Laurie met and immediately formed a creative partnership, building innovative solutions to meet an unprecedented moment in all education sectors, the COVID-19 pandemic.
Laurie brought deep K-12 curriculum development and teaching experience, and Kim's background included standing up higher-ed online programs, adult learning and emerging technologies. At WGU, the country's largest provider of online education, they created next-generation solutions including forward-leaning graduate programs in K-12 Curriculum and Instruction, as well as Learning Experience Design with K-12 and Adult Learning pathways.
Since then, additional organizations have come calling. Laurie and Kim have formed the Instructioneers LxD consultancy to empower learners, educators and organizations with the skills, knowledge, and mindset to thrive in the digital age.
