Crystal Clear Writing

“Jane is a very talented writer, who is able to express complex ideas in a logical and clear way. When I was publishing manager at the Royal College of Nursing she produced high quality distance learning materials that fully interpreted our brief, within very tight deadlines. Jane is also skilled at creating frameworks for online learning. She has a way of making learning an enjoyable experience and ensuring that learners do not feel overwhelmed or daunted by technology. She is an excellent course facilitator – very knowledgeable but also sensitive to the fact that many learners are juggling lots of different priorities. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jane – she would be an asset to any e-learning project.”

Tracy Cowell, Passion for Publishing.

“It has been a pleasure to have met Jane Brotchie in a creative and collaborative environment such as Moodle for Teachers workshop at IT4ALL. I was a facilitator of the Team where Jane was one of the most creative and talented contributors. Her knowledge and expertise in technology tools, design concepts and her collaborative skills were amazing. In many cases she was the leader of the Moodle course design, a wise advisor of appropriate tools for the specific learning/teaching situations and a decision maker in complex technological situations.”

Ludmila Smirnova, Professor of Education MSMC.

“Jane worked with us via the Global Giveback initiative of LINGOs and the eLearning Guild. She helped us to refine and improve a Web-based multi-week workshop for our staff scattered across the developing world. We found working with Jane to be a delight. Her insights were valuable but tailored to the level that non-learning experts could absorb and use. She was always really prompt to turn things around on her end, and saintly patient when we took forever on our end. We’d love to work with her again.”

Jude Griffin, Knowledge Management and Learning Expert, Management Sciences for Health.

“Jane is an inspiration to others in the world of designing elearning. Her strengths are in the areas of:

• course design using clear writing, plain English speaking and sound pedagogy
• course content development using best practice model, innovative ideas and collaborative approaches
• course facilitation using a motivational online manner, supportive communications and reliable, consistent online presence
• course promotion and evaluation using sound business and educational processes and innovative use of web 2.0 tools.

I highly recommend Jane as an excellent learning designer and cooperative team member in elearning projects.”

“I am very pleased to be able to offer a recommendation for Jane Brotchie, who has played an instrumental role in developing our recent GCA Facilitator Course. Jane was able to bring an expert contribution to the design and delivery of the programme, and meets our standard of credibility of being “a model of excellence in what she purports to teach”.A strong team player, with global savy makes Jane a fine person to do business with.”
Damien O’Donoghue, GAC Corporate Academy.

“Jane continues to provide expert advice and support for our business. She is totally reliable and a real pleasure to work with.”

Shane Sutherland, Development Director at Pebble Learning.

“Jane is that rare combination – a creative talent who produces practical solutions. She can take complex academic concepts and translate them into easily understood learning. She is able to work well with expert editors and has developed varied and interactive learning solutions. She also has a great eye for detail and stays with the project from initial concept to final delivery.”

Sophie Randall, Director Oyster Healthcare Communications.

“I have worked with Jane on several occasions in my project management role working within learning and development team. Jane has worked with us to take complex processes, materials and themes and create clear, understandable and valuable resources for our staff and members. Jane has a sound knowledge of, and experience in, learning and development which enables the relationship feel like one of collaboration rather than commissioning. This creates the feel of having another team member rather than a consultant.”
