Free Content and Products
Blended Learning
Primary focus still on creating a great school environment with great teachers, school leaders and school culture
Data Lots of new data being created by
educational software applications (blended learning environments, adaptive learning platforms, behavior management and apps connected to SIS / LMS)
More effective teaching and learning; improving learning outcomes a. Personalizing learning b. Teachers grouping students based on competency rather than age c. Pinpointing problem areas and where students need the most help
Utilizing New Data
Free Education Content and Products What is happening • Free quality content in K-12 and higher ed / MOOCs are here to stay and only
getting better • Higher Ed will get disrupted • Companies going direct to consumer are experiencing rapid growth and a number of
huge successes • These are all great things for the world of education; increases access and
efficiency in educating the world
Lessons Learned • Teachers and Students want to easily test and use products • Adoption needs to be easy • Products need to be useful and work like consumers other non education products
(i.e. fb, google docs) • Need to get to market extremely fast, iterate fast and move quickly
Rise of the Tablet Cheap Tablets • Aakash, Kindle, Chromebooks, Nook, the next
tablet, software that can be used on any android based tablet
This enables a couple of things • Easier to create blended learning models in K-12 • Developing countries can leapfrog crappy systems
and start using top of the line SaaS products and immediately implement new tools, capture data, and provide better learning experiences
Education in Emerging Markets
Pair cheap tablets / devices + free education content & products + connected apps (via APIs) = the perfect combination for education in emerging markets
