The document discusses sustaining employability through lifelong learning and innovation in e-learning. It notes that skills and lifelong learning are important for competitiveness and jobs under the Lisbon Agenda. Innovation and new approaches like eLearning 2.0 can help fulfill the promise of lifelong learning, but balanced approaches that blend different methods may be best. Strong collaboration between public and private sectors is needed to support employability through education, skills development, and an open ICT ecosystem.

It’s hard to believe it’s been three years since we published our first ReimaginED report. When we first drafted ReimaginED, we set out to expose systemic challenges in our nation’s K-12 education system and to highlight some of the innovative solutions edtech entrepreneurs were developing to address these challenges. In last year’s report, we showcased ways technology could help our school system become an escalator to opportunity for all.
A lot has changed in three years, including our spinout from NewSchools to Reach Capital. Edtech investment has hit an all time high with a variety of new funders entering the space. As the market begins to mature, global edtech brands are emerging with solutions that are improving educational outcomes and serving millions of students, teachers, and families.
Even with these changes, however, a lot remains the same. The escalator to social mobility remains broken with unequal access to quality education. Meeting individual student needs is still a challenge and grows more pressing as children in US public schools are more diverse than ever. Moreover, our education system is not designed to prepare children for the demands of today's knowledge economy. We're still stuck in a system that is largely manufacturing-based, which falls short on important skills such as coding, creativity, and synthesis. All these challenges and more have led to increasing demands on teachers as both their role and their responsibilities evolve, with little to no support in the transition.
This year’s publication, rebranded as “Reach Capital’s 2016 Edtech Outlook”, touches on these persisting challenges, while also highlighting key drivers that make us optimistic about the potential of technology to improve access and opportunity for kids. This year, our publication is not a roundup of everything in K-12 edtech, but rather our perspective on the challenges,opportunities and promising solutions in the space that we find most compelling. If you're looking for a full report on the state of K-12 edtech, our friends at Edsurge in partnership with AT&T Aspire have recently published a state of edtech report and we encourage you to check it out.
Given our unique vantage point, we also provide a peek “around the corner” into emerging solutions that align with our mission. We continue to see a need for more innovations in critical areas like English Language Learner instruction and Social Emotional Learning. We look forward to finding and supporting talented, mission-driven entrepreneurs innovating in these and other areas that will improve access and opportunity for kids.
Thank you to co-authors Chian Gong, Aditya Kaddu, and Jennifer Wu as well as the entire Reach team for their guidance and feedback.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Editor's Notes
So what is Collaborative Innovation? In the past we liked to compare PRODUCT-DRIVEN vs MARKET-DRIVEN models, the former being “built it and they will buy’ mentality vs the later being Build it because we know they need it! SO we can look look at How we have performed Product Innovation by what we call MONOLITHIC INNOVATION and the proposed COLLABORATIVE INNOVATION models In the old model, firms try to control the whole innovation process from the top-down. But you can’t control innovation networks because they evolve organically, rather you focus on what you do best and build symbiotic --or win-win-- partnerships with other specialists in the network. Today firms innovate by using only their own inventions. But in collaborative innovation, you don’t need to invent to innovate. You take your partners’ best inventions and transform them into your own innovations. Corporate lawyers will tell you the “P” in Intellectual property stands for protection: you must own and protect it. But in collaborative innovation models, firms are obsessed with return on intellectual capital: so they willingly share and expand their IP with network partners to grow their business. Innovation processes are too rigid to react to changes in customer demand. But collaborative Innovation Networks give you flexible processes that let you and your partners anticipate AND quickly respond to innovation demand – and grab growth opportunities before they vanish Companies today use patents to measure their innovation success. But in the NEW model, inventions – measured by patents – take a back-seat to customer experience, the best indicator of innovation. And lastly, rather than RECEIVING the product of your inventions, customers are embedded in your Innovation network so their insights help shape your innovations. As you can see, the new Model of SHARING, LEVRAGING BEST PRACTICES/BEST OF BREED and Symbiotic partnerships will be the only way for us to achieve the organic growth we all want for our business in the future
Porat (1977) noticed the growth in services based on information in his efforts to define the information economy. ------------------- Sources: Porat, M. (1977) The Information Economy: Definitions and Measurements, Special Publication 77 12(1), Office of Telecommunications, US Department of Commerce. Agriculture -> farms (plants and animals, hunting, fishing, mining (harvesting of natural resources) Industry (Goods) -> manufacturing, making things, construction Services (info) -> create info, store & organize info, process info, distribute & communicate information (battle uncertainty – remove risk) Services (other) -> maintenance & repair of people and things (battle entropy – remove decay), transport goods, provide utilities, distribute goods and utility services Mitigate risk, uncertainty Mitigate entropy Time Line: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/telephone/timeline/f_timeline.html Farm Labor: http://www.usda.gov/history2/text3.htm Brief History of Work: http://courses.nus.edu.sg/course/socsja/SC2202/Labor/Occupationsa.html 1800 and the Jeffersonian ideal – citizens as independent and self sufficient 1800 – mobile people called settler (move and stay), conquerors (come in to rule), or sailors (come from afar to trade), changed by 1900 to include travelers -- local travel to family, on business, leisure, schools, medical, government or military service.
Here you have a simplified example of an ecosystem for learning regarding K-12 – key participants – connected via an open ICT ecosystem. The power of connecting the players and having them interoperate is obvious. This creates dynamics for innovation in learning that we have never seen before. We have the first great examples where parents are getting involved in the activities of their kids in schools or where local authorities can discover in real time patterns about performance problems in schools and help with the initiation of remedial actions. Or, along the same lines, where governments can receive key policy input about developments in schools across the country, without waiting 2 years to receive a report. However – the interconnection can only be achieved in a sustainable way if based on open standards. Proprietary standards would rather lead towards a world that is “closed” – maybe someone would like to write a book “The world is closed…”. For sure this will not be IBM..!
Thank you
1. Lisbon declaration, with emphasis on knowledge 2. In response MS recognised that education & training systems in Europe must reform to meet challenges of a knowledge society. Stockholm Council agreed that emphasis be placed on Quality, Access and Openness 2. Barcelona Council set the aim for Europe to become a worldwide quality reference by 2010 This will be achieved bottom-up, the responsibility being with MS and the regions. The Commission will support this process
Enterprises in different industries have applied technology to significantly change the way they do business.
Two years ago, we interviewed CEOs at 456 companies in every major industry sector. And, just recently, we completed interviews with 765 such CEOs to dig a little closer and get a better idea of just what’s keeping them up at night. In this latest survey, two-thirds of them said definitively that they’re looking to innovate. But they didn’t all agree about what they needed to innovate. Those who are looking to innovate their business model seemed to feel that products and services can be copied, but the business model is the true differentiator. The business process innovators think that’s the toughest thing for the competition to duplication, so that’s where their competitive advantage will lie. Meanwhile, the product and service innovators are afraid that innovations in processes and business models are too ephemeral for their tastes. And they’re under a lot of pressure, especially, because products and services are, of course, most prone to being turned into commodities.
With massive processing power connected by the Internet, easier and more successful integration of enterprises, a wider understanding and acceptance of the need to collaborate, and the new services and service delivery models from new entrants in that market segment... ...it’s now actually possible to create and run a company that can concentrate on the one thing it does best. Our clients can integrate their partners into their business – partners handling everything from supply chain and accounting, to the actual development of the products they sell and the relationship they have with their own customers. This has never been possible before quite to the extent it is now. That’s because every one of these elements, and every other element of a business’s operations, has been broken down into components that can be mixed and matched. That helps an enterprise see which components it should do itself and which it can rely on a partner to contribute. [click to reveal IBM capabilities] And it needs a partner like IBM to help integrate and manage it all, using everything at our disposal, such as the Component Business Model, employing service-oriented architectures, and bringing our various offerings to bear in helping our clients specialize in what differentiates them, and leaving the rest to someone else.
In our industry, we’ve perhaps seen this trend in sharper relief than any other, but in fact, collaboration and co-creation are shaping every industry in one way or another, and they represent a huge opportunity for our clients in innovating for their own advantage. For example, this shows all the various answers CEOs gave in our most recent survey as to where they get their best ideas. Notice that they’re seeing almost as many good ideas coming from their business partners as from their employees who work with those partners. And they’re getting about twice as many innovation insights from customers as they are from the sales and service units who work directly with those customers. What they’re realizing -- in some of the ways we’ve learned from our work in open source and open standards, and from many of our joint development projects -- is that they no longer have to create – and own -- everything themselves, as they once believed.
William Mougayar, Gobalization 2.0: The future organization is an OPEN CORPORATION. It has a functional architecture that allows it to absorb external touch points in an open manner. Openness means easier business once standards of interaction are adhered to, but it does not mean blindly acquiescing to, or exposing everything. Open means flexibility in aligning priorities, budgets, resources and people to dynamically changing objectives. Open facilitates technical and business integration but it doesn’t resolve it on its own. Open accounting and financial disclosures breed confidence and trust and eases efficient integration and engagement of stakeholders, customers, partners and investors.
“ Community of Practice” (Etienne Wenger, 1990s) is a shared domain of interest, where members interact and learn together and develop a shared repertoire of resources. Mobile Learning defines new relationsships and behaviors among learners, information, personal computing devices, and the world at Large (Ellen Wagner, Bryan Alexander)
