What participants are saying about our training:
The Collaborative Discussion Training opened up a wealth of information, tools and discussions which addressed the tricky area of interpersonal and group decision making and project design. It hit the essential areas of ethics, philosophy and practicality which both stretched and enlightened our group of librarians. Thanks to the expert and inspiring guidance of the facilitators! –Stephanie Ralph, Library Director of Summit County, Colorado
The Interactivity Foundation’s training program has brought a wealth of new tools and perspectives to our school programming. The sequence of modules provide concrete directions, key steps, clear concepts, and evaluative measures for easily integrating collaboration into your classes or curricula. –Don Waisanen, Baruch College, City University of New York
