    Nicki Berry

    After many years teaching in various sectors, with a specialism in educational technology, I completed my Master of Arts in Online and Distance Education in 2017, and have shifted careers into e-learning creation. I currently work with a Moodle/Totara LMS, and use Storyline to create eLearning.
