In this episode, Robert Balfanz continues the conversation with New Hampshire’s Extended Learning Opportunity Network’s Kerrie Alley-Violette and Sean Peschel, two on-the-ground educators working to make “learning anywhere, anytime” real.

What Kerrie and Sean’s groundbreaking work shows is that challenging seat time is being done—and thus that it can be done.
