Please join us in congratulating Sandie on being SHLC’s August 2024 Learner of the Month.
Sandie was nominated by Sharon, an online educator here at Good Learning Anywhere. Here is a statement about Sandie from Sharon.
Sandie Is a very dedicated learner and a wonderful communicator. She has taken many courses with us and is always a delight to work with. Sandie wrote in our Introduction forum:
“Hi, my name is Sandie! I’ve had such a great experience with GLA. At my age, never did I think I would be able to do all these online courses. GLA gave me the confidence to enter into the unknown and learn in new ways. I just finished an Indigenous Study course through the University of Alberta and received my certificate. At my age, I never thought I would be able to learn online courses. I drove a school bus for 25 years, but GLA gave me the boost of confidence that I needed. That being said, I would like to say thank you!”
