Do you provide online training for your employees or students?
Do they prefer to learn at times and places of their choosing?
Do you seek the same effectiveness as in-person, face-to-face instruction?
- I can communicate your intent to your computer system engineers. I can translate your learning objectives into engineering specifications so that your technical staff can build online learning systems that teach the content you want to teach.
- I was a university professor for over 20 years. I designed online learning systems. I taught my school's entire freshmen class of 2550 students via online learning for 12 years before the COVID pandemic.
- Now I advise schools, businesses, and government agencies. I clarify learning objectives, suggest training methods, and recommend technical features along with their advantages and limitations. I do not build or sell computer systems.

- I speak English and Japanese.
- My email address is goh@kawai.com. That's my first and last name dot com.

Glexa
- Glexa® is an LMS (learner management system).
- The name Glexa was coined from the phrase "Learning EXperience designed by Goh Kawai and implemented by Akio Ohnishi".
- Akio and I designed, developed, and distributed Glexa for 15 years.
- Glexa is now sold by Chieru through its subsidiary Chieru Communication Bridge (formerly Version2), a software corporation founded by Akio.
-
Discourseware
- My former graduate student Takafumi Utashiro and I own the registered trademark Discourseware®.
- Discourseware is our courseware for training discourse, particulary verbal, non-verbal, and back-channeling skills (that is, respectively, speaking, body language, and signaling from the listener to the talker).
