Are you ready for this revolution? 🚀✨ #DidYouKnow #DigitalLearning #EdTech #FutureOfEducation #GlobalEducation #ciominds

Great conversation about evidence of efficacy in ed tech, happy to be a part of it. One thing that came up in the webinar that I always like to emphasize is the need for evidence of a wider variety of outcomes. Beyond content knowledge, I'd love to see products demonstrating evidence of building future-ready skills, and with more diverse types of implementations. Not easy to measure, but it's what will matter most to be successful in the future! #edtech #efficacy #futurereadyskills

🚀 Excited to share our latest blog post: "Reflections from DLAC"! 💡 After a fantastic experience at DLAC, it's time to reflect on the insightful takeaways from this event. With over 1700 attendees and countless sessions, here are three key insights that stood out: 1️⃣ The Digital Learning Core Is Thriving: Online schools, hybrid models, and digital courses are not just growing but innovating at a rapid pace. Despite misconceptions, these programs are becoming increasingly mainstream and are continuously evolving to meet diverse student needs. 2️⃣ Expansion Beyond the Core: DLAC showcased a broader spectrum of digital programs, including dual credit, CTE, and microschools, blurring the lines between traditional and digital education. 3️⃣ Global Trends in Digital Learning: With attendees from 15 countries, it's clear that digital learning is a global phenomenon. Overseas developments may even surpass those in the US, suggesting potential leapfrogging in educational innovation.

We've recently had some really heart-warming news! Little Bridge was chosen as runner-up in the Global Edtech Awards 2024. This competition, now in its second year, aims ‘to put the hard work of the very best educators and EdTech providers into the spotlight’. Fairness and equity (one of my obsessions!) are at the core of the awards, demonstrated by the policy of providing its judges (also global) with anonymised submissions to remove any bias during the judging process. What’s more, all entrants are provided with positive and constructive feedback from the category judges, regardless of whether they win or not. We were really happy to learn that the judges recognised that our ‘combination of technology and best practices in education has enabled the company to contribute a lot on the global stage in English language learning’. As Mark Anderson FCCT (@ICTEvangilist) , one of the founders of The Global EdTech Awards, commented: “I’m delighted for all of our winners and runners-up in the Global EdTech Awards 2024. Our policy of anonymising the entries for the judges meant that they had to assess them entirely on their merits, rather according to any expectations they may have had from seeing the entrants’ names or brand identities. We believe that this places all of our entrants on a level playing field, where their achievements do the talking.” The winner in our category (‘Best Edtech Company More than 3 years old’) was Stride, Inc. Huge congratulations to this awesome company from the US! #education #edtech #innovation #global

🚀 At #SETCA, we recognize that the landscape of education has undergone a profound transformation. Merely opening schools and constructing traditional classrooms is no longer sufficient. To thrive in the era of the 4th Industrial Revolution and align with the goals of Vision 2030, we must embrace innovation and reimagine education. That's why we advocate for a paradigm shift in how we think, act, and engage with technology. Through our expertise in pedtech and edtech, we empower schools to build the classrooms and educational institutions of the future—today. If you are a school leader or owner. Let's collaborate to revolutionize education and prepare students for the challenges and opportunities ahead.

After three days in San Diego at ASU+GSV Summit for dozens of scheduled meetings, dozens more organic discussions, and a handful of panels, demos, and dinners, I plan to share a few thoughts as I realize/synthesize them in my head and with friends and clients over the next few days. To the extent these musings create further discussion in the comments, it would also be awesome to hear everyone’s thoughts and reflections. -- I'll post the second one tomorrow. ----- 1) The first key takeaway is the shifting dynamics between companies serving higher education. Over the past decade, there was a palpable atmosphere of ruthless competition between edtech companies, driven perhaps by the pursuit of growth for investors. The current landscape still harbors a competitive spirit, but it's now focused less on competing with each other and more on competing against macro-market dynamics to achieve the best outcomes through friendly collaboration, sharing knowledge, and integrated service offerings. And all done to meet better the needs of higher education institutions and their students. Previously, Online Program Managers (OPMs) were the fiercest competitors; now, it's evident that those days have passed. It's time to bridge gaps and sort things out together. #ASUGSV #edtech #highered #musings
