“Education with youngsters supplied as products willmake way for a new thinker, with courage, imagination,entrepreneurship, creativity and organizational skills. These are the minds that will flourish. Reduction of talent in merely an IQ number is absurd. Difference and diversity are keywords. In each organization new people, new ideas will pop up. With new standards, values and responsibilities

Can we make a difference offering concepts
for online teaching and learning
And doing so, facilitate the different learning styles
How can we digitize in a standard way
50.000 hours of lecture?
And how do we make it available organized on
the Internet for 90% of the student population?
Challenge

. Review of the institute’s environment
. Find yourself a Rebel with a dedicated multi disciplined team
. Aim for a structural service, structural financed
. Introduce a proof of concept in a “roll around the campus” solution
. Three-staged rocket strategy for marketing purposes
. Execute a publicity campaign involving all media at your free hands
. Get central funding involved and let them take charge
. Keep the core and technical developments in your own hands
Tricks of the trade
The three-stage rocket strategy
Mobilize the (student) target group. Make them evangelists, use their position to fuse the (chancellor) decision maker Create allies (wannahave influentials) to your cause and prepare for rollout
The first-stage Mobilizing students
- Invite all unions for Presentations and Beers- Connect with the what’s in it for them- Introduce the solution- Exchange next behaviours- Become their fatherly sponsor
Aim; To make Collegerama part of their election program, becoming the biggest party on the Student Counsel.
Result; Collegerama on the monthly agenda with the Board university
The second-stage Decision makers
- Offer a feasible total solution based on your review - Look for a bundle of benefits - Make their targets your targets - Help them as their runner-up
Aim; to connect tight to the institutes policy for upmost support Result; the collegerama concept became E-learning philosophy
The third-stage Creating allies
- Present and discuss your case at any opportunity - Mobilize your network to gain all attention - Share knowhow, experience and machines - Offering help will help your cause - Publish
Aim; influence from the outside, in Result; corporate pride leads to support
•Caused a way of thinking that triggered the authorities to consider the Collegerama corporate added value to the institutes philosophy
All tree stages
