“Our GlobalED partnership represents a degree of significance we have needed to fully achieve our desired mission,” said Mark Wile, executive vice president of FACTS international sales. “We seek to not only move institutions to modern practice around best-in-class service and operations; we want to partner with schools to achieve the highest degree of learning and practice around competitive instructional design and delivery.
