VISION – Our BHAG
Practical Academics will establish online group-based learning as a normal and accepted practice in our everyday lives through the success of three consumer learning platforms.
MISSION
To educate, empower, and engage individuals in their personal, professional, and civic lives.
WE WORK WITH:
- Organizations that share our vision, mission, and values in order to craft programs for their organizations and communities, and offer their programs on our platforms.
- Program Designers: Instructional designers, curriculum developers, subject matter experts, and authors who have an educational mission and desire to develop their presence as a thought leader and influencer in their fields.
- Program Mentors who deliver their programs from our catalog to serve their constituents and communities.
