About Connect For Education
We had this crazy idea that course materials should be beautiful and engaging.
It all started at a picnic over a glass of wine
In 1996, Dongsook and Bruce Whitehead offered to host a student picnic at their home where they met Dr. Carlos Maldonado, and the rest, as they say, is history. With a common passion for education and improving the learning process through technology, Dongsook, Bruce, and Carlos vowed to create a company that used technology to make learning fun, engaging, and memorable, increase affordability, and change the way all the stake holders in the learning process interact with each other and their course materials. And so Connect For Education was born.

And we’re just getting started
Since then C4E has served...
