[Global HR Forum 2014] Connected Learning: Redesigning Education for the Masses

What’s the difference between learning and education? Knowing that answer has the power to unlock the potential in each of us and our organizations. To build better teams,
we need to shift our focus away from merely producing “college-ready graduates,” and toward fostering young adults with the abilities to create, innovate, and think critically. We need to reinvent education, not just for today, but for hundreds of years into the future. Today’s young professionals are unprepared for the types of jobs that await them. They’re products of an education system that teaches them to conform instead of creating new paths
forward. As the world’s problems become more complex, businesses need employees who will challenge the status quo, discover new opportunities and implement creative solutions. This presentation will help you connect the dots by taking you on a journey through education paradigms and revealing a new way forward. You’ll learn how companies are using digital technology to reinvent learning for a new generation, with a focus on open platforms, projectbased learning and real-world skills.
