Building on the success of our first online conference, Brain Matters 2015, I'm bringing you a new service in 2016, Brain Matters Academy. This completely self-paced, online learning site will give you 24 x 7 access to self-paced courses from leading experts in learning, education and neuroscience. We're specializing in the courses that you, as learning professionals, need right now to enhance your career, transform your teaching and make learning more fun for you and your students. You will be able to take as few or as many courses as you like and take advantage of special multi-course programs, such as
Brain Matters for Teachers,
Brain Matters for Sales and Marketing, and
Brain Matters for Leaders.
Here are just a few of the topics we've already lined up:
When courses begin on March 1, every person who is signed up for our
Brain Matters Newsletter will be automatically enrolled in Brain Matters Academy.

All you have to do is keep reading our newsletter and wait for your invitation to appear in your inbox. If you have a friend, a family member or a colleague who might like to take advantage of Brain Matters Academy with you, just send them this newsletter and ask them to
sign up here.
I'm going to be telling you about some of our courses and instructors in future issues right in this newsletter. I'm so excited about this new venture and I hope you will be, too.
