OPEN
YOUR MIND
Data Driven Education & Personalization
Disruptive Innovation in Education
From Soft Skills to Core Skills
Algorithms today can analyze learners’ behavior both online and offline. What are some of the issues regarding privacy and data reliability – let alone access to resources – that educators need to consider?
Online courses, educational software, social networking tools, and other emerging technologies are disrupting the traditional classroom environment. Which learning management systems or collaborative platforms are you looking at for your educational setting?
What skills do students need to succeed once they are in the workforce? How can we help students develop interpersonal and communication skills? And what about time management and creative problem solving?
The Future of Higher Ed
Innovative Education for Social Change
Gamification In Education
What is the right balance between online and offline learning? Do students really need a four-year residential experience? What training efforts are required for faculty and students to facilitate changes in learning and teaching mindsets and behaviors?
Innovative education increases social mobility and diversity. Promoting STEM learning for all genders and/or including students with special needs in public school settings to name a few. What are some of the issues that you are wrestling with? What are the most pressing?
The explosion of apps and programs are dizzying! What is the role of gamification in education? How can students and educators navigate this field? How can students learn the benefits of failing through this modality?
