Convening Leaders to Hack the Future of Higher Education

Young people today are caught in the transition between two worlds—the world of institutional production of education and a new world of possibilities for highly personalized on-demand continuous learning. It’s a typical two-curve problem with mass-produced education delivered through existing institutions on the decline; on the rise are new forms of education and learning that combine technologies with the best of social tools to enable learning that is personalized and meaningful. At our March 24 event Redesigning Education: An Innovation Leaders Exchange, sponsored in conjunction with Autodesk and Georgia Tech’s Center for 21st Century Universities, we convened a group of thinkers representing different parts of the new education ecosystem to exchange best practices and to dream together about how to build the best learning environments given today’s sets of tools and technologies.
