About

Anouk Janssens-Bevernage

Anouk is on the front line, making sure the clients are happy and things go according to plan. She hires the best people for any project whenever we need help, and she keeps everyone on track. She explores the best possible e-learning strategy and solutions with the clients. Anouk also oversees the instructional design on all our projects.

She is a highly experienced e-learning designer. If she doesn’t take the lead on your project, she will be there as an adviser.

Don’t get her started on eWorkshops and its underpinning training philosophy… she’ll talk a whole day if you don’t stop her. Her enthusiasm for the model really shows in the two eWorkshops that she runs regularly: the e-facilitation workshop and the eWorkshop design course.

With 30 years’ experience in the not-for-profit and international development sector (of which over 15 years in the field), she offers a wealth of knowledge to each new project.

Anouk started writing in her eLearning Nomad blog many years ago. In the blog, there is an ‘about me’ section with a little more personal information.

Anouk’s creative and applied approach; putting the learner at the heart of the learning process and creating fun and meaningful learning experiences, has enabled her to deliver excellent courses which have received great feedback from all types of learners. She is a master at using situations, scenario-based learning and problem-based approaches to instructional design.
Her facilitation skills are second-to-none, as she patiently coaches learners to discover and learn in a learner-centred way. As an online facilitator, Anouk demonstrates an organised, skilled, and motivating approach to learner support. As a face-to-face facilitator she brings a vibrant enthusiasm to the classroom which infects the group, even the ones who may at first be reluctant to engage.

Sue Dark, Director of Learning at Kineo Pacific

Anouk is a fantastic course developer, mentor and technical advisor for a e-learning courses. I worked with her as content advisor on an e-learning course developed for UN Women on aid effectiveness from a gender perspective in 2012. Anouk’s communication skills are superlative. She is clear, friendly and prompt in responding to all queries at all times and will go to great lengths to ensure that her staff and learners on her courses are comfortable and understand both content and the processes involved in e-learning. She conducts an exceptional course on developing e-facilitation skills which was interactive, enjoyable and encouraged real depth of learning. She is very supportive and appears to be available almost 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to learners. The courses she develops are pitched at the right level for the specific needs of learners, encourage interaction from learners all over the world, are fun and support real analysis and rich learning.

Anouk is an astute, client-focused and extremely efficient project manager. While working together to create a 4-week e-workshop for the Australian Council for international Development (ACFID), Anouk and her wonderful team demonstrated exceptional knowledge of the e-workshop format and uncompromising attention to detail. Designing the program together with Anouk was a pleasure, both personally and professionally.

We work with freelancers who help us on the many international projects we undertake every year. This provides us the flexibility to work with the people who have exactly the right expertise for what we need on respective projects. Our projects are often quite specialised and this approach proves to be the best way to get the right team for a particular piece of work.

We have a solid team of learning designers, Articulate developers, subject matter experts, narrators, Moodle experts, translators, etc. – who we have called upon for many years now.  Our freelancers tend to be keen travellers as well so the ‘nomadic’ culture is really part and parcel of our little group. If you would like to work with us, please get in touch.
