John Struchynski, the Technical Director of the NDCDE, had heard of Dawn’s mobile-first andvideo-centric PD solution from his colleague who attended the product launch co-hosted by TomVanderArk and Getting Smart at iNACOL. The NDCDE has been a longtime partner of Agilix and usesthe Buzz learning platform to host several hundred virtual courses in their online high schoolthroughout North Dakota and around the county, so he was familiar with our work and thought Dawnmight offer the convenience and flexibility that they needed.

John set up their Dawn site and handed it off to Kelli and her curriculum partner, Katie Larson, tobegin building and importing their curriculum, launching in the first week of September, 2019. Giventhe budget and previous responses to similar trainings, Kelli and her team set a goal of getting40−50 enrollments. To their delight, those expectations were far surpassed, with enrollmentsapproaching 1,000 in the first two months!

This level of success required quick adjustments by the entire team and collaboration with Agilixsupport and development, but they were able to scale seamlessly and meet the demand. Kelli andher team are ecstatic with the success and recommend maintaining and expanding the project.They are proud to be helping so many educators get the training and certification they need, andhappy to have found an easy-to-use, flexible, and convenient technology solution that resonateswith their audience.We are proud to call them our partners and look forward to seeing what more wecan do together!
