After sitting through another brain-numbing training session, Jeremy Vest decided that "learning" and "lethargy" should be mutually exclusive. After all, having dedicated most of his adult life to online adult education, Jeremy doesn’t believe in continuing to do what doesn’t work. Jeremy, with his vast experience as a art director, program director, author, speaker, and teacher, set out to change the way we think, or rather, stop thinking, when adults attempt to learn.
Jeremy became an e-Learning visionary when he created one of the very first social learning platforms, and developed a “connected software video training style.” Jeremy is Founder of the Emmy award-winning online training site, www.xtrain.com.
