Lori:

Okay. Erin, you didn’t plot me here, but I’m going to tell you anyway. We use GoReact, and we’re actually piloting your AI as well in one of our tour of our programs. So that’s for our online. All of our observations are done through GoReact. They have been for many years. And now with the layer of additional feedback to be able to be done by the AI component, students really enjoy it. The supervisors like the additional layer that they have. So that’s one of our big technologies. We just launched our early childhood online degree program in the fall, and the faculty member and myself received a very large grant and we are working with immersion, so we’re doing clinical experiences where they actually get to practice their pedagogy through a virtual practicum using avatars and all those kind of fun things every semester. So firm believers that just because you’re online doesn’t mean you don’t get the opportunity to practice if you don’t have your very own classroom. So we have them having that option. And then the cool part about that is that they do their immersion and then they upload it into GoReact, and so then that video can then be shared with supervisors, with mentors, and I’m pitching for you here and I’m pitching. I don’t mean to be, but that’s kind of,

Erin Stanley:

Yeah, I did not set Lori up here,

Lori:

But we do. We love it and we’re very happy with the program and the process. So yeah, that’s what we’re doing.
