Sharing Solutions: What Can Education Learn From Innovation in Other Industries?
Date: Mar. 8
Location: Austin, Calif.
This panel will discuss the new age of innovation (and collaboration) in learning. Technology is being used to make education consistently more effective, engaging, relevant and accessible. Innovation will be embraced not because providers browbeat consumers into accepting their corporate model of education, but because markets typically thrive when customers are empowered to "vote" for the solutions with the greatest utility.
