About us

Epodia was founded with a simple, yet powerful philosophy in mind: to create a collaborative platform where instructors may find original teaching materials ready-for-use in their classroom -- and where they will be able to post their own-authored topics for other teachers to use in theirs.

We hope that this free, unaffiliated, academically independent initiative, built over many long nights, will encourage faculty to develop new education aids, share their very best -- and in the process -- make creating and teaching great courses for our students easier for us all.

The Epodia founding team

Arnon I. Dreyfuss

Arnon Dreyfuss has had a long-standing interest in the dissemination of educational information. He began his career as a medical doctor and cancer researcher at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute of Harvard Medical School. Responding to a need he observed among his patients, he founded Dreyfuss Hunt, Inc., a private health information company. Dreyfuss Hunt grew to become one of the largest business-to-business providers of a variety of wellness publications, newsletters and on-line content and was ranked an "Inc. 500" company in 1997. After selling Dreyfuss Hunt, Arnon became interested in ways the internet could be used to share information among academic educators.
