“Adam Falkenberg is one of the most talented and conscientious people I’ve ever worked with. I worked elbow-to-elbow with him for about one year, providing support and training for new users of the Canvas LMS at UC Berkeley.

By the nature of the job, as well as adjoining desks, I was able to see what Adam was about, close-up. When I arrived in the department, it was Adam’s work attitude that showed me that I had arrived in the right place. In an environment with varying (and sometime conflicting) priorities Adam’s work ethic was always about, “What’s the next thing for me to dive into? What’s the next task that I can be productive on?” Adam had a high-energy attitude which was infectious, on the job. In some ways, I would say that I reacted to him as a leader. Adam has a great way of communicating an esprit-de-corps around high performance standards.

Whenever something came up that needed to be done, I always saw Adam approach it with good cheer, and the professional insights that only come from long experience with computers and users. Adam is a terrific communicator. Whenever I watched him teach a class about how to use Canvas, I always learned something — either about the software, or how to teach it, or both. When working with service tickets, Adam held his work to high standards, and was always willing to teach a co-worker about how they could reach that standard, as well.

There are few trainers who can match Adam in his technical expertise. Yet when he’s talking to someone whose expertise with computers is weak, Adam has an easygoing attitude that quickly lets them know that he’s on their side, and things are going to go easier than they expected.

Any organization that brings Adam Falkenberg on board will have a valuable asset, both for the tech side that only his colleagues see, and the “meet the public” side that users see.” – Brian Gothberg, San Jose State University, College of Nursing

“The video looks awesome! Simple and easy to follow. Big high five on the micro learning.”   – Jacqui Palmer, First Republic Bank

“It was wonderful being in your class, I have learned so much about the inside of my computer that I would of never thought to learn on my own, thanks so much.” – Sandra Madison

“I very much appreciated your thoughts on the course. After reviewing it week by week on Moodle I confess to thinking it’s working darn well. Valuable and useful information followed by exercises, interactions, and assignments that put their learning into action and promote critical thinking and higher-order learning. I am pleased with the results and greatly admire and appreciate all your truly fine work.” – Terrence Keyes, The College of Westchester

“Adam obviously knows the subject, his presentation style was engaging and informational.” – John Dorcey, Wisconsin Aviation Hall of Fame

“Adam is a great presenter. Really appreciated the straightforward and kind delivery of a well-prepared presentation. Learned a lot. Thanks so much!” – Claudia Ortiz

“Super webinar! Now I get it! I didn’t understand the benefits of Google Drive before. Thank you Adam and GrantStation.” Amy Sperry, UCED

“Adam is a customer-oriented, technically savvy instructional designer. He understands the necessary balance of good pedagogy combined with appropriate technologies.” – Ellie Hoffman, Director of Academic and Instructional Innovation, Samuel Merritt University

“Adam is approachable and even-keeled; he has a clear understanding of technology and instructional design. In his time at UC Berkeley, Adam employed all of these skills (along with a wonderfully positive attitude) in his work providing direct support to faculty using the campus Learning Management System (LMS).

Of note, Adam helped faculty make a major transition from a Sakai based platform to Instructure Canvas LMS. He was great at communicating technical and/or pedagogical concepts to audiences with varying levels anxiety and/or technical fluency in both workshops and direct consultation settings. As a result many faculty were able to: migrate between systems with less turbulence; and more fully leverage the features of the new system to realize course objectives. We regularly received appreciative and complimentary emails about Adam’s work from those he supported.

Additionally, Adam played a key role in helping Educational Technology Services (ETS) develop and implement a framework to monitor and analyze the types and volume of support interactions between faculty and (ETS) staff. We’ve been able to use this framework to understand and improve our services.” – Ben Hubbard, Program Manager, Google

“Hey – you run a good meeting – just sayin” – Ellen Mowrer, GrantStation

“Adam and I worked together on redesigning an English Composition II course for The College of Westchester.  I provided the content to Adam who carefully designed and laid out the materials so that they are user-friendly and visually appealing.  We had a very tight deadline to work within, and I was impressed at the frequency and depth of responses I received from Adam.  Although we worked remotely and never actually met in person, Adam was always available.” – Stacy Larson, The College of Westchester

“Thank you so much for all you’ve done at Berkeley and for supporting me the whole time I’ve been at Berkeley.” – Kailey Chen, Instructional Designer, Stanford University
