GBSN Members are Invited to June’s Collab: EdTech and the Future of HigherEd with Daphne Koller
From the role of technology to the question of what we ought to know in order to meet the global challenges ahead, discussions will explore the role if education in shaping a more inclusive and sustainable society.
Our June Member Collab will feature an intimate conversation with Daphne Koller, Professor of CS & Pathology at Stanford University, Founder and CEO of insitro, Co-founder of Coursera, and Co-Founder of Engageli. GBSN member ambassadors and leading faculty from across the globe are invited to join this Collab’s discussion around the role of technology in shaping the future of learning and teaching.
With the onset of the global pandemic, academic institutions around the world embraced flexibility, offering hybrid learning environments with both virtual and physical classrooms. The pandemic seems to have spurred a series of innovations and notable trends across the education sector. These changes might give the impression that academia is experiencing some much-needed reform. Yet, these trends don’t necessarily tackle the real challenges facing higher education like — certifying knowledge instead of cultivating the learning experience; being inaccessible to the socio-economically disadvantaged, and focusing on easily-obsolete knowledge and disregarding context. Is business education playing its role in society, and in addressing challenges to access and quality?
We will explore questions like:
- Which higher education trends and innovations will stick?
- What will business education look like in the next five years?
- What are the advantages and downsides of our new, digital world and learning at a distance?
- With so many lacking the resources or time to access such education, will technology truly deliver equality of opportunity?
