Clive Shepherd’s Summary

For the past 25 years my primary area of expertise has been technology-assisted learning and communications, but from three very different perspectives: (1) as a manager within a large corporation and as such principally a buyer of e-learning services; (2) as co-founder of an e-learning development company and an active practitioner in all aspects of design and development; and (3) as a consultant looking to share my expertise with organisations interested in implementing e-learning and with managers and e-learning practitioners looking to develop their own knowledge and skills in this area.

Clive Shepherd’s Specialties:

I have worked in just about all aspects of e-learning, but my current specialities are blended learning, rapid e-learning, effective business communications, the use of virtual worlds for learning, informal learning and collaborative online learning. I also specialise in workshops and courses for learning and development professionals looking to develop their understanding of the opportunities afforded by technology.
