Editor's special award

Dr Sherlie Arulanandam - 'Unsung hero' in eLearning. She developed the initial concept of the Adult ADHD Foundation Course, developed the webinars, updated and reviewed the course material, sourced all the speakers, provided us with all the materials that were added in, such as videos in a very timely manner and she was an excellent communicator through the whole process. She's now developing a further addition to the course and we're looking forward to working with her on it.
