“Huge thank you to Elsa for your engaging facilitation of today's session via Zoom! The session had a variety of interactive activities which certainly kept my ADHD brain engaged and I'm now a huge fan of the break out room feature in Zoom!“
— Participant from ACON workshop
“Very interactive session as a whole. Person-centered learning is a great way to go and I feel like Elsa ran the session very well. There was a sufficient amount of information without being overwhelming and I think her explanations were succinct and clear to understand. Great job on adjusting it to online learning/webinar mode. Couldn't even tell it was a transition. Seemed like a whole new course that was designed originally for online deliver.
