Narine Hall - InSpace / Champlain College

As an educator frustrated by the challenges and limitations of online learning platforms, machine learning professor Dr. Narine Hall was uniquely positioned to drive change. When the world went virtual, Dr. Hall quickly got to work. The result is InSpace, a new online learning platform that allows participants to break free of "Brady Bunch" boxes to create a fun, natural, and engaging environment that fosters interaction and collaboration.

1. Hall did not just build InSpace on her own experience, she interviewed more than 500 educators to find out what challenges they face in online learning so that she could conceive a platform to break down barriers in online learning platforms. In this talk, she will share what common themes she heard, as well as her journey to develop a solution.
