Information about authors of learning plans
In the Courseware tool, there are some learning plans on various theological topics and Bible books that are included with Logos base packages. For example, there is one called "Introduction to the Gospel of Matthew", by John Pierceson.
These plans do not have any information about the authors.Even some of the Mobile Ed courseware, such as NT176: The Gospel Message in the Early Church, do not have any information about the authors or speakers.
It would be very helpful to have biographical information about the authors. For the seminary professors who teach the Mobile Ed courses, one can search for information on the Web. But this is not possible for some of the courses, such as the Matthew course I mentioned.
Also it is not always clear to me for the Matthew course which parts were written by John Pierceson. Perhaps he just organized the reading plan and created the introductory video. The course plan lists a variety of Logos resources that the course uses. I see that many of the pages are taken from these resources, such as the Faithlife Study Bible. The source of each page was not initially clear to me but I eventually figured out that if you hover over the abbreviation of the source next to the title of the page, a balloon window opens describing the source.

As far as I know all Courses included in the Courses Tool that are not Category "Courseware" are free and not tied to any base package.
And I think this is true for the ones by John Pierceson.

As one who was asked to provide some of this material we weren't asked to provide any biographical information. But I do understand how it could be helpful.

For the courses I produced I didn't write any of the material just pulled together material available in Logos resources. I assume that this was true for other courses produced by others as well.
The exception to all of the above is the Courseware material which are, predominantly, provided by the Mobile Ed team.
