Teaching

Dr. Toelle has developed and taught a number of courses for the University of Wyoming and Schlumberger. These various classes have been presented both live at the university and through the University of Wyoming's Outreach program and, while with Schlumberger Brian taught both internal company classes and external classes for Schlumberger clients. Those external classes were taught through Schlumberger's educational organization, NExT (Network of Excellence in Teaching).
