About Zhizi Stella W.

I am an EdTech professional and instructional designer dedicated to enhancing teaching and learning through technology, pedagogy, and community. With a background in bilingual education and extensive teaching experience across traditional classrooms, small groups, and 1:1 online instruction, I bring a learner-centered perspective to every project.My work spans curriculum development, online course design, and AI-powered learning tools. At Leadoo Academy, I deliver personalized online lessons for diverse learners. At Maka.ai, I contribute to building adaptive, AI-driven language learning applications. Previously, in traditional schools, I designed curricula and led engaging classroom experiences that supported students’ growth across languages and cultures.Beyond teaching and design, I co-founded EdTech Info Space, a thriving global community where instructional designers, educators, and learning professionals connect, collaborate, and share insights. This role reflects my belief in the power of community building to drive innovation and professional growth in education.Whether developing e-learning with LearnDash, H5P, and Storyline, designing inclusive curricula, or experimenting with AI to personalize learning, my focus remains consistent: creating learning experiences that are accessible, engaging, and transformative.
