Top SchoolGary Kokaisel is an instructional design and online learning leader with 14 years of experience shaping multimodal, evidence-based course experiences at Valencia College, where he now serves as Assistant Director for Online Learning.

Based in Greater Orlando, he seeks connections with educators and designers who want imaginative, research-driven approaches to teaching and learning.
