Lektor is thrilled to welcome a new employee to manage virtual learning design. 

Lektor introduces a new employee to design virtual training and set up online implementation. Marjut Sadeharju has a background in languages, adult education and digital learning. Her previous employer was Helsinki University Continuing Education and Development, HY+,  where she worked as a development specialist. Marjut has written textbooks, taught English language and literature in the IB, mentored international teachers and student teachers and designed online teacher training programs for overseas customers, for example in China.

At Lektor, Marjut helps with project management, virtual learning design and business development. Traditionally seen as heavily regulated and conservative, the air navigation service industry needs a fresh and novel way to train and upskill its staff. Face-to-face training has long been the prevailing method of air navigation service training. As there is a need to offer high quality online training both nationally and internationally, there are fantastic opportunities to design learner-centered solutions and refresh traditional training practices. 

Marjut will be bringing the latest instructional developments to the field by first devising a modern learning ecosystem and designing an effective pedagogical approach. Understanding the learner and how to support their professional development is first on her task list. When asked about her feelings on starting this new project, Marjut stated that she has “rolled up her sleeves but has her head in the clouds”. Seems like the cloud is where Lektor is headed as well.
