EdTech

The Future of Learning

We are living through a 4th Industrial Revolution which is creating disruption in how industries and labor markets work. How does our educational system need to change to prepare us for the future? How can technology help us to learn more and distribute knowledge more effectively? The EdTech track @ South Summit is developed together with Learn Capital, a Silicon Valley based VC firm exclusively focused on disruptions in the education industry.

Learning, Life and Career Accelerators

With the pace of the tech industry growing rapidly and new digital disruptions changing market dynamics how can we ensure we are upskilling the next generation quickly enough? How can we address the global shortage in tech talent? How will the flow of the work force move in the future? Will opportunity or quality of life dictate the talent hubs? For decades, online education was about increasing convenience; but many potential customers wanted speed and rigor over convenience. learners now have options that are about octane-fueled intensity rather than convenient access.

Classrooms on demand: From Devices to Solutions

Devices & platforms that are changing the way we learn and democratizing the access to education. While there has been strong focus on the adoption of ultraportable devices in classrooms, devices are increasingly becoming commodities that, on their own, do not always achieve intended policy goals. It is becoming clear that an effective solution for digital learning in the classroom requires a holistic approach that combines software, services, and implementation assistance, along with a scalable approach to devices. Hear about the successes and obstacles that country level and state level programs in different regions have experienced.

The customised classroom

How Big Data & AI can customize the learning experience to people’s needs and preferences. Big data has become a buzz word across the technology landscape. Learn what big data approaches mean for enhancing education outcomes, changing the delivery models, and re-patterning the types of education experiences that will be developed—both for increasing efficacy and for more efficiently generating mineable data.

Globally Scaled EdTech

Education has traditionally been local. Only in the past few decades, Higher Education has been an international affair for only a few million individuals who venture far from home. In the past five years, all that has changed. Technology startups can now scale learning services to millions around the world.
