In 2016, there were 3.7 billion smartphone subscriptions worldwide, today there are nearly 6.3 billion and, by 2026, that number will top 7.5 billion. Smartphones have been revolutionizing many industries, including health, travel, and music. Yet, they have not yet made a major difference in education, especially in higher education and in environments where access to education has been low. Even when mobile learning is applied, it is often under-utilized relative to its potential, especially to support social (peer-to-peer) learning, experiential learning, gamification, and virtual/augmented reality.

That is why GBSN and Gnowbe are partnering to empower up to 2,000 business and management professors with microlearning instructional design skills. Participants in the program will learn the principles of instructional design and how to apply that in a microlearning format for blended or asynchronous learning experiences. Upon successful completion of the programs, participants will earn a Microlearning Instructional Design (MID) Level 1 Certification, which can be applied to their LinkedIn profile.

Participants in the Gnowbe-GBSN program will also earn a certificate of completion from GBSN, which signals preparedness teaching specifically within the context of business and management schools. GBSN believes that the microlearning instructional design skills can be applied to increase inclusiveness and belonging, expand lifelong learning and executive education, generate additional value from case studies and simulations, make research more accessible to practicing managers, and increase the impact of business schools as catalysts for sustainable development.

At this webinar, hear from Gnowbe’s CEO So-Young Kang, and Creator Engagement Manager Nicola all about Microlearning Instructional Design and the $10M Scholarship application process. Find out more about the $10M Scholarship here: https://hubs.li/Q015M36C0

GBSN Members are Invited to October’s Cross-Border Collab: The Essential Role of Business Schools in Shaping Society

As the founding Dean of the School of Business at the American University in Cairo (AUC), Sherif Kamel played a lead role in shaping a city and country, as well as building a business school. Join Dean Kamel for our October Collab to explore the critical role that a business school plays in the community and other insights from his recently published book, Leading Change in Challenging Times: Lessons of Disruption and Innovation from Egypt – Thoughts, Observations, and Reflections.

In his book Kamel examines the significant role that business schools, particularly AUC, play in educating the next generation of business leaders, policymakers, entrepreneurs and change agents. He emphasizes that human capital is one the world’s most valuable assets, that it is the role of each individual to contribute to the socioeconomic development and growth of their own committees and the world. By instilling the importance of lifelong learning, business schools can continue the development of this critical asset.

In the October Collab Dean Kamel will share with us his insights on how GBSN members can help shape the society of the future on an organization and personal level. We will discuss questions like:

How can business schools support and encourage lifelong learning to aid in the development of more skilled human capital?
What is the role of business schools in the larger education ecosystem in shaping society?
How do business schools continue to remain relevant and competitive in an ever changing world?

Lessons from Europe: Deployment of Artificial Intelligence in the Public Sphere Webinar

DATE & TIME

Thursday

June 9, 2022

10:00am – 11:30am ET

RSVP FOR EVENT

OVERVIEW

The application of AI has been largely a private sector phenomenon. The public sector has advanced regulatory questions, especially in Europe, but struggled to find its own role in how to use AI to improve society and well-being of its citizens. The Wilson Center invites you to take a critical look at the use of AI in public service, examining the societal implications across sectors: environmental sustainability, finance, and health. Where are the biases in the design, data, and application of AI and what is needed to ensure its ethical use? How can governments utilize AI to create more equitable societies? How can AI be used by governments to engage citizens and better meet societal needs? The webinar aims to engage in a dialogue between research and policy, inviting perspectives from Finland and the United States.

This webinar has been organized in coordination with the Finnish-American Research & Innovation Accelerator.
