SPECIALIZED EXPERTISE: Private Expert Consultations

A trusted outside perspective when important decisions require specialized digital learning expertise.

Digital learning leaders are often expected to evaluate emerging issues, anticipate institutional implications, and make defensible decisions without having every area of expertise represented internally. Private Expert Consultations provide focused access to evidence-informed perspective without requiring a broader project engagement.

Depending on your needs, Private Expert Consultations can be arranged as a one-time session or through ongoing expert access. We’ll help clarify the expertise required and, when appropriate, select a specialist whose knowledge and experience align with the questions or priorities you want to address.

One-time expert consultation

A one-time consultation gives your institution focused time with a specialist whose knowledge and experience align with the issue you need to address.

Use the consultation to:

  • Test assumptions and consider institutional implications

  • Make sense of an emerging technology, trend, or opportunity

  • Explore risks, trade-offs, and possible next steps

  • Prepare for an important discussion or decision

  • Determine whether the issue requires deeper analysis or additional support

Best for educational decision-makers seeking timely, evidence-informed perspective on a defined question without initiating a broader engagement.

Ongoing expert access

When digital learning questions arise regularly, ongoing expert access provides continuity while allowing the expertise involved to evolve with your priorities.

The Digital Learning Leadership team will develop an understanding of your institutional context and provide a consistent point of contact. Each month, you’ll be able to consult with one or more experts about current questions, decisions, challenges, and opportunities.

When a priority requires different specialized knowledge, we’ll identify and bring in an expert whose experience aligns with your needs.

Ongoing expert access helps you:

  • Maintain continuity and momentum as priorities, risks, and opportunities evolve

  • Revisit earlier questions as new information or circumstances emerge

  • Connect related issues by identifying patterns, dependencies, and risks across multiple initiatives

  • Access different areas of specialized expertise as your needs evolve, without initiating a new engagement each time

  • Track how emerging developments may affect your institution over time

  • Recognize when an issue requires deeper analysis, additional capacity, or a more substantial engagement

Best for educational decision-makers who want continuing access to trusted digital learning expertise without hiring a permanent senior digital learning leader or initiating a new project each time a question arises.

Let’s move forward together.
