About the author
Michelle Gilbert is a graduate student in the M.S.Ed. Instructional Systems Technology program at Indiana University Bloomington. Since 2015, she has been an educator and educational technologist at internationally recognized online holistic health institutes.
Michelle believes that the online holistic health education sector is misrepresented in the public eye, and that improved instructional design and organizational change would create much-needed shifts in learner outcomes and reputation. She is passionate about adult e-learning and hopes to contribute to this needed change in her field.
