Flash Survey Ranks CLO Competencies

The Masie Institute recently conducted a “flash survey” on Technology Competencies for Learning Leaders (e.g. CLO). This was part of founder Elliott Masie’s work as academic director at the Wharton/UPenn CLO Program. Over 930 colleagues from organizations around the world responded.
