029 Candis Best and her Game Design for Student Success (GDSS)

Candis Best is the Founder and CEO of Learningateway. Her career in higher education began as an adjunct professor. She has worked as a consultant, faculty member and subject matter expert for higher education institutions, companies and community-based organizations. Along the way, she added two masters degrees (business and psychology) and a doctorate in social welfare and policy development. Candis’ vision for Learningateway is to introduce much-needed disruption to higher education by leveraging technology to provide academically inexperienced learners with a transformative educational experience. She believes that President Obama’s goal of a U.S. education system that is the envy of the world, is still achievable and she intends for Learningateway to lead the way.
