Manager, Quality Assurance Resources, The College of Dental Hygienists of Ontario
It has been a very positive experience working with Dr. Ross and his team at Media Learning Systems (MLS) in creating engaging and interactive eLearning courses for our members. Dr. Ross has been very easy to work with, very timely in responding to our needs and we are extremely pleased with the final product. Dr. Ross has been very communicative and proactive in assuring our needs and our learners needs were always met at each stage of the development process. It is essential for an organization or Subject Matter Expert (SME) and an eDeveloper to work well together, this is the key to success in any eLearning project and Dr. Ross has proven he can do this very well. It is stated on MLS’s website that MLS strives for the highest level in customer satisfaction and this has been clearly evident all along the way. I would highly recommend Dr. Ross and his team.
Theatre Services - IMAX
We are very fortunate to have found Media Learning Systems to digitize all of our theatre services e-training for our staff around the world (to date about 30 courses, each in 6 languages). Dr. Ross and his skilled team have transformed our courses into engaging online learning modules our theatre staff respond well to. We will continue to rely on MLS for all of our elearning course needs for years to come.

I am founder of Media Learning Systems Inc (MLS), and have been with the company since its early days as a small University of Calgary-based distance education unit in 1996.
In addition to serving as President of Media Learning Systems, I am a Learning & Development Specialist consultant with a variety of Toronto-based companies, and enjoy helping organizations shift to online learning.
I received my PhD in Educational Technology from the University of Calgary in 2000, studying how adult learning attributes such as cognitive style, personality preferences and subject matter knowledge impact learning at a distance with technology. I have published my research worldwide in refereed academic journals (many with over 150 citations to date), and I taught adult learning theory for over 12 years at Mount Royal University.
My thesis research discovered that structuring effective online course environments requires first reaching and then teaching the elearning student. This means we must take into account learning styles and other individual preferences in how we develop eLearning applications, and vary instructional approaches so all users can feel accommodated online. What seems like a "no-brainer" today was quite novel back in the late 90s, and my findings helped guide the strategic direction I chose to take with Media Learning Systems.
My commitment to the learner remains strong after all of these years; MLS continues to create multimedia-rich applications that ask students to apply knowledge from their eLearning experiences to their real-world jobs using simulation-based applications and applied scenarios. This deep learning approach is one reason why we have been so successful. I am very proud of what my company and our talented team of developers have accomplished, including twelve awards for eLearning excellence. I look forward to many more years of service to the eLearning profession!
