Meet the Founder
Erin Richardson, M.A.Ed.
Instructional technology leader, instructional designer, and national conference speaker. With over a decade of experience in higher education, curriculum development, and digital learning and instructional leadership, Erin brings together the art of creative design and the science of how people learn.
“I started SmARTclass because I kept seeing the same gap, organizations investing in training that checked the box but didn’t change anything. Learners deserve better than that, and so do the people designing for them.”
