🌟 My Self-Directed Learning Journey
Instructor Training for Rebuilding Lives – Microsoft Tools (No LMS)
Created by Micki Archuleta
🧭 Introduction
I developed this self-paced professional learning opportunity to meet the needs of nonprofit educators and instructors without access to a learning management system (LMS). The goal was to design a four-week training experience integrating Microsoft educational tools to teach social issues like houselessness, mental health, and advocacy in a digital-first environment.
This journey enhances my professional goals by providing a replicable, scalable model for training instructors across community settings, education nonprofits, and alternative learning environments.
