GLOBAL LEARNING ADVISERS

Global Learning Advisers is a small non-profit organization led by me, John W. Shaffer. I have been involved in training and instructional design full time since 1997. Previous to that, most of my work was as a field service engineer in very high-tech career fields. Like many other people have done, I taught several courses from time to time as part of my normal jobs. In 2006 I completed a Master's Degree in Education with an emphasis in Educational Technology... One way we accomplish our mission is by helping individuals, churches, and parachurch organizations leverage technology to best enable learning about Christ and His Kingdom... We define learning as a transfer of skills and knowledge. Thus, learning includes both "knowing" and "doing". Our efforts focus on helping ministry leaders increase their knowledge and use of various technologies so they can better employ distance learning to improve the transfer of skills and knowledge.
