Dr. Polselli has been involved in online learning since beginning his doctoral research in 1999 and continues to refine how to most effectively implement "blended" learning opportunities for students.  Through the development of an online, mentor-supported training model, Dr. Polselli began his adventure in the realm of online learning and as an IT Director and FAA certified flight instructor he has implemented both completely online learning environments as well as blended experiences for teachers and students.  Programs like Virtual High School, Florida Virtual School, and Apex Learning have provided learning opportunities for students that would otherwise not been possible in a traditional classroom setting.
