~ About Me ~

My name is Joanna Wild, and I am a freelance digital learning and evaluation consultant and a JISC Associate. I have founded OL4ALL – a consultancy service in equitable online and blended learning – because I know from experience that online learning, if well designed, can open access to learning for students from the emerging economies regardless of their gender, age, learning and communication culture and whether they live in areas with good or poor internet infrastructure and connectivity. 

I have over 23 years of experience in designing and advising on online & blended learning programmes, courses, and e-workshops for audiences in the Global North and the Global South. This gives me a deep appreciation for the role context plays in learning design and an in-depth understanding of what works for learners across different contexts.

Having been born and lived for almost two decades behind the Iron Curtain, I have firsthand experience of what it means to have limited access to opportunities and what it takes to dare. 

I have been lucky to work at such fantastic institutions as INASP; University of Oxford; The Open University UK; the Institute of Education, University College London; Centre for Social Innovation, Vienna and the University of Science and Technology, Krakow. 

I have consulted organisations such as the World Health Organisation (WHO), Tate Britain, and BBC Learning. 

My mission is to share my learning and experience with others who care about equity and inclusion in learning and want to give their learners what they need
