Education is at a crossroads. Questions are being asked about the value of formal credentials while many of the most exciting innovations in our time are emerging from industry rather than as an outcome of a formal research project. The world has changed; what to do?
We’ve used our work on the Shift Index to view the education sector from a different perspective, and we’d like to hear what you think of the result.
When your talent is spread across a hundred countries, how do you give them a platform to train, brainstorm, and learn together? How do you respond to the learning needs of a diverse, distributed workforce that need to develop into your organization’s future leaders? How does one develop innovative leaders capable of a high level of critical thinking? What are the newest ideas in pedagogy? Here are some ideas and trends which are rapidly transforming L&D.
Department for Education Fellowship ApplicationKevin P. Hudson
I recently applied for the Department for Education Fellowship, but instead of providing the usual hyped up CV and begging letter of suitability, I created something a little different.
This application provides a brief insight into my thinking of how to strategically improve the education system via the model of the startup business.

You must learn to see the world a new. We learn from the emerging future and utilize the wisdom of crowds This needs to be the mindset for transformation.
In general the flow of knowledge will activate the continuous optimization process.
A circular process where we constantly seek for and access knowledge, from feeling, observation, demonstration and challenging we are able to apply the knowledge in practice. We create deeper understanding and new ideas for adoption will emerge. We reflect on the application and learn so that we can curate new knowledge and share this with a wider audience. We focus on empowering teachers to make a difference. Important element is the sharing of knowledge, expertise and experiences so that we collectively learn from the emerging future. Each teacher can use the flow of knowledge to build their personal productivity grid to drive personal growth.

How to build your 10x-ValueFactory in 90 days (introduction)
We leven in opwindende tijden - waarin de manier waarop we met elkaar werken sterk aan het veranderen is, waarin de focus naast presteren, veel meer is gaan liggen op de mens. Leiders zijn zich meer en meer bewust dat als het hun mensen goed gaat, het ook goed gaat met de organisatie.
Uitspraken binnen deze context zijn gedaan door:
Wendy Woods - Sr. Partner Boston Consulting Group: “Smart, committed people. They are our most precious and powerful resource. And many of the innovations that people have created recently enable even more people to contribute in even more substantial ways. That’s a significant part of why I’m so optimistic about our future.”
Ed Catmull - Co-founder Pixar: “Talent is rare. Management’s job is not to prevent risk but to build the capability to recover when failures occur.”
Of denk aan het “Growth Manifesto” initiatief van Neville Isdel (Coca-Cola) hoe terug te gaan naar “living our values”, hoe beter samen te werken en mensen te ontwikkelen om ultieme prestatie mogelijk te maken.
Bovenstaande voorbeelden schijnen hun licht over desastreuze focus op alleen presteren bij bedrijven zoals Enron, Lehman Brothers, Atari, Kodak …
Het feit dat klanten producten en/of diensten afnemen geeft aan dat er waarde wordt toegevoegd. De vraag is:
Welke waarde gaat morgen - onbewust ? - gewenst worden?
Wanneer is morgen?

The educational system in Bangladesh is three-tiered and highly subsidized. Bangladesh Govt. operates primary, secondary & higher secondary, and tertiary level education system. In the tertiary system (e.g. College and University), the infrastructure is insufficient which eventually can’t accommodate higher education at maximum coverage and hampers the growth of the economy. To solve this problem, E-Learning model is proposed. One prototype solution, eVarsity, is illustrated in this work.
The idea behind this large “Teacher Centric” education project was born in my IMS days. I felt
that there was a need for a project which was targeted at teachers with the objective of attracting
the best minds, once again, to a career in teaching. Setting up one such school as a pilot project
to establish proof of concept was what I had in mind.

The Great State of Design with CSS Grid Layout and FriendsStacy Kvernmo
For far too long we've been forced to reuse layout patterns that have worked in the past, creating a web full of sites that all look the same. Narrow timelines, browser support restrictions and lack of a true grid system have led us to create work that is "good enough".
I've spent years exploring how we can make the web a more unique space. With some of the newer CSS techniques available, we can start to make more creative designs. CSS Grid Layout is on the horizon and will play a major role in the design of our sites. Finally having a true, 2 dimensional grid will give our layouts much more flexibility and it is on us to explore the possibilities.
This talk was presented at CSS Day 2016.

The Future of Corporate Learning: from Training to Learning ExperienceFabernovel
With innovation cycles becoming ever shorter, companies are faced with a new challenge: keeping their key skills up to date in real time. This strategic dimension of ‘workforce planning’ cannot rely solely on recruitment; existing employees must be able to continuously learn new things. As such, the number one skill companies now look for is the capacity to learn, and companies are particularly looking for ‘learning animals’, a term coined by Google.

Professional Development Y3 ssp 12 13 l14Miles Berry
Many teachers might seem reluctant to make extensive use of ICT in their teaching or to teach the ICT curriculum as effectively as they might. Furthermore, the rapid pace of technological change ensures that you and your colleagues face the continual challenge of staying up to date with technology and its use in schools. Web based communities and networks provide many opportunities for professional development and peer support.
We consider the importance of ongoing CPD and explore a number of approaches to this. Within a community of practice model, you reflect on the process of your professional formation as a teacher, comparing and contrasting this with your subsequent professional development.
I discuss a number of online resources, networks and communities of relevance to primary ICT or e-learning coordinators and you explore a number of these. We look at how you might facilitate your future colleagues professional development, through face-to-face gatherings and online communities.
ACTION LEARNING, KNOWLEDGE CREATION AND ORGANISATION LEARNING Jamil Nahra

Collaborative Enterprise - Social Learning IntroductionPREDA
At Entreprise Collaborative, we are beginning a journey to create a cross-cultural idea laboratory to exchange perspectives on collaboration in the enterprise with experts and practitioners.
We will strive to connect social learning and networked enterprise in order to develop more resilient organizations.
This White Paper is the first in a series on a theme. It provides multiple perspectives on social learning, in two languages and from various business cultures.
Social learning can be viewed as the development of knowledge, skills and attitudes while connected to others (peers, mentors, experts) in an electronic surround of digital media, both real-time and asynchronous.
The contributors to this paper have provided their perspectives on what we believe will be an important factor for the future success of all organizations. One way to read this paper is by using a lens given us by Marshall and Eric McLuhan*. We can ask how social learning will extend, obsolesce, retrieve or reverse what we are currently doing in our workplaces. This may afford some ideas as to what we should be doing.
Bb on Tour 2016 | Keynote - Brisbane | Learning 2020Blackboard APAC
Professor Suzi Vaughan, Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Learning and Teaching), Queensland University of Technology presented recently at the Bb Education on Tour event at QUT in Brisbane, on Thursday 3rd March 2016.
In 2018, Deloitte Centre for the Edge & Geelong Grammar School published "From coding to competence", developing the idea of digital competence that was first outlined in "To code or not to code, is that the question?" While it's important to know how to use the technology, digital literacy, it's more important to understand when and why to use the technology, digital competence.
The essay proposed a framework for understanding and teaching digital competence. The framework remains incomplete though, and needs to be populated with examples of digital competence before it is useful.
This project, "Mapping digital competence", attempts to populate the framework by asking the following question:
How might teaching digital competence manifest across the educational strata (K-12, post-secondary, vocational, industry…)?
or, put another way:
What are the attributes of a graduate (from each of the educational strata) that represent digital competence, and how might they be taught?
We're being sold a decentralised future, one where self-enforcing (smart) contracts and micro-transactions mediate our relationship with the world around us. Apparently this will democratise trust and reshape society, or so the streak of technological determines that runs through society tells us. Though while technology is a significant force shaping society, it is not the most important. There are deeper forces at work in society, and while blockchain is a sign post that the future will be different from the past, the future we're racing toward is not the one we're being sold.
Change is rarely linear, a smooth line of continual incremental improvement. It's more typical to see a punctuated equilibrium, where long periods of stability punctuated by rapid periods of change.
This slides are a work in progress where I'm trying to break the evolution of businesses (as opposed to the business landscape) into a number of distinct phases and describe what causes the shifts and what organisations focus on during the periods of stability.
Feel free to contact me if you have and thoughts / builds on the slides.
The Future of Business. A seven minute Lightning Talk at the Insights & Innovation Lab (http://vicsport.com.au/insight-and-innovation-lab/), on Tuesday 17 February with VicHealth and Vicsport. This was the first event in the lab's Forward Thinking series ( http://vicsport.com.au/industry/forward-thinking/)
Lamentations over the predicament of our country’s manufacturing industry have dominated headlines over the past year. There is, however, a light behind the storm clouds. As Dr Glenn Stevens, the Governor of the Reserve Bank of Australia, pointed out, ‘Even as industries are shrinking, new industries can grow up’.
This report – "Product Innovation in a hyper connected world: The Australian Maker Movement” – takes a different, more radical outlook. Our view is that the future of Australian manufacturing is fundamentally shifting, and could lie with our emerging ‘maker movement’. Australia finds itself at a disadvantage for labour- intensive, low-skilled manufacturing however, technologically voracious and interconnected Australians have collectively built a digital foundation for the vibrant maker movement.
Business would be well advised to observe how the successful startups outlined in this report find ways to participate, learn, and shape the movement. Moreover, we urge Australians to take pride in the emerging movement, which showcases the good old Aussie ingenuity of making things happen.
How real-time computing will transform supply chain decision-making
This presentation will provide a plain-English account of how real-time computing will transform supply chain decision-making and control. Peter Evans-Greenwood will illustrate the emerging leading practices with lessons learned from case studies, featuring clients across the globe.
The biggest challenge for today's supply chains is to be adaptive. While tremendous gains have been made over the last thirty years, today's applications are not as flexible as promised. New tools and techniques are required to capture and automate the non-linear, exception-rich, business logic that we currently rely on employees to deliver. Extending the technology stack will allow us to leverage the higher capacity of technology to deliver globally optimal solutions and to introduce innovations such as the moving warehouse into all our supply chains.
A new company enters the market in late 2008, LGM Wealth Management, who have found a new way of spinning existing solutions and technologies to provide it with capabilities an order of magnitude better than anyone else.

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.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
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.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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.

2. Education is at a crossroads. Questions
are being asked about the value of
formal credentials while many of the
most exciting innovations in our time are
emerging from industry rather than as
an outcome of a formal research project.
The world has changed; what to do?
We’ve used our work on the Shift Index
to view the education sector from a
different perspective, and we’d like to
hear what you think of the result.

The shift from
stocks to flows
The shift from
push to pull
5. The Shift Index1 showed us that how we
communicate and collaborate has
changed and that this has, in turn,
driven changes in business and society.
It also showed that Australia is better at
generating knowledge flows than
leveraging them to create value.
The education sector appears to be the
best tool to rectify this problem.

6. Value used to rest on the stocks under
our control.
Digitisation has shifted our focus from
the centre of organisations to the edge;
from tending the operation of the boiler
room that powers an enterprise to
navigating the tempest surrounding it.
Today value relies on tapping into the
flows that weave through and around us.
How has digital technology changed the nature of
business and society?

Stocks to Flows
This has changed the dynamics of many
industries and organisations.
Yesterday we used to push out
solutions, products and information to
meet predicted demand.
Today we work with trends, enabling
consumers to pull in solutions, products
and information as needed.
Push to Pull
7. Our current education sector is founded
on the creation of knowledge stocks and
then pushing these stocks into
individuals and organisations.
Our future education sector might be
founded on the curation of knowledge
flows, where knowledge and insight are
pulled in by individuals and
organisations as required.

are pushed between participants

10. We foresee three big shifts in education
The shift from a predictable environment to a less
predictable one moves our emphasis from reductive
analysis to constructive synthesis
10
Analysis to
Synthesis
Learning is no longer restricted to the classroom, as
we cannot predict ahead of time what knowledge will
be required, nor can we afford to take time out of
formally acquire knowledge.

In-Context
We used to hire someone as we could trust them to
apply a known body of knowledge, but today we need
to be able to trust them to solve a poorly defined and
novel problem

Capability
The shift from stocks to flows and push to pull is
changing how we acquire and use knowledge
11. We need to teach the next generation not just
how to pull apart the problems confronting
them to understand each part, we also need
to help them understand how to pull
disparate parts together to create something
new, innovating when confronted by novel
situations.

outcomes
• Experience in diverse contexts

12. Learning is something that happens
continually whenever an individual or
organisation realises that new skills or
knowledge is required to solve a problem.
Expertise is pulled to the context and
enabling the problem to be solved, with the
knowledge worker participating and learning
from the experience.
• Simulation Learning
• Service Learning
• Industry-Based Learning

13. To build trust in what an individual is capable
of, rather than their educational achievement,
we need to understand:
• The type problems the individual is
interested in solving
• Their success in solving these problems in
the past
Ideally we want to see a track record of real
work.
• “Open Source”
• “Public Deliverables”
• “Social Education/Publication”

14. A life-long relationship that is problem, rather than
domain, focused
The individual and the educator
Our formal education provides us with three critical things:
1. It helps us to obtain the minimum body of knowledge required to identify,
discuss and solve the domain of problems that we are interested in
2. It provides us with experience across a broad range of domains, so that we are:
• aware of the limitations of our knowledge
• sensitive to different approaches and domains
• are hooked into the communities and knowledge flows that we can
participate in and draw on as required, building a life-long relationship
3. It provides us with opportunities to demonstrate our competence and value by:
• Enabling us to do real or simulated work
• Supporting us in publishing the results of our labour
14
15. Challenge and opportunity rather than experience
and credential focus
The firm and the individual
Our relationship is founded on a shared interest
• The firm has problems that need to be solved
• The individual is interested in similar problems
We develop trust by looking into each others past and seeing what we have both
done.
We maintain our relationship as it provides both of us with the ability to learn and
grow (scalable learning).
We hire for capability and learning ability before we hire for expertise. We
actually would rather hire smart and curious people than people who are deep,
deep experts in one area or another.

16. Insight and learning rather than questions and
answers
The educator and the firm
Theory typically follows practice. The steam engine came before thermodynamics.
Theory, however, enables us to optimise practice by providing us with a deeper
understanding of the problem at hand.
We work together to work smarter, rather than finding ourselves at opposite ends
of a R&D agreement:
• Firms benefit from insight into best practice and innovation from researchers
• Researches need access to data and facilities that industry has
For example:
• Google and the self driving car (its not new, its just better funded)
• NSA and cryptography (ditto)
16
17. Our value has been the product of research
profile and credential quality. Now it’s the
product of our community vibrancy and student
achievements.
It is the quality of the knowledge flows within
and around our institution that create this value.
Moving courses online is a double edged
sword. While creating flexibility for students, it
can also prevent the development of a
community and reduce the value of our
knowledge flows.
Certification will remain, but it will be in niche
areas.
Research is something that the University
invests in to increase the value of its knowledge
flows.

18. Formal education is a time to explore
problems and build skills.
It’s a hothouse that provides us with our initial
knowledge, hooks us into knowledge flows,
and helps us learn how to navigate the
problem and knowledge landscape.
Our education is built around solving
problems and exploring opportunities, and
takes place in public.
We should view this not as the start of “life-
long learning”, but beginning of “life-long
problem solving” or “life-long exploration”.
Individuals
19. Credentials are something we reach for when
the stakes are high: medical doctors,
structural engineers, etc.
For most of our needs we use track record
and an individual’s current abilities to
determine who to work with.
We engage researchers to help us optimise
what we’re doing. The researchers work out
what are the intersecting questions to
research (since that is the first bullet point in
their job description) and then bring us the
insight we need.

20. The new (or emerging) model of knowledge work
Key questions
If how we use knowledge has change, then how we think about knowledge work
should change:
• It was: the application of known knowledge to solve a known problem
• It’s now: the integration/synthesis of knowledge to solve an unknown problem
What is the shape of this new knowledge work model? It’s key drivers?
How can we tell good work from bad work, when we don’t understand how the
work was done? (i.e. identifying snake oil)
How can we organise our institutions to optimise this new type of knowledge work?
How does this new model integrate with the education and training sector? Life
long learning? Or a life of exploration?
If we change how we think about (and manage) knowledge work, will it be possible
to improve productivity?
20
21. Skills not domains
Key questions
The penetration of digital technology has transforms some/many traditional
domains of instruction into general purpose skills. Information technology – for
example – is taught as a separate subject, where students learn to use specific IT
tools and languages to solve arbitrary problems out of context. Does this still make
sense?
If the next generation is to move from being consumers to become productive
members of society, then they need to realise that these are general, not specific
skills. “Don’t teach them Java, show them how to use R to glean insights into a
problem that they’re working on.”
Subjects that we might (re)consider as “general skills” are:
• Technology / Information Technology
• Making / 3D Printing etc.
• Critical / Design Thinking
What is a complete list of these skills? How would we integrate them across the
curriculum? Can we do this bottom up? Or must it be top down?
21
22. Managing the decline of (traditional) credentials
Key questions
Credentials are not going away. However, they are moving from being a general
tool that we apply in all situations, to a specialist tool that we apply when we don’t
have any other alternatives.
Should we de-couple credentials/certification from course structure?
• Currently the structure of courses and their content is determine (mainly) by the
demands of the certification process at the end of the course (mainly in senior
levels). Course is aligned with credential.
• An alternative is to build course content around exploration themes, with
students picking up credentials only where required (e.g. surgeon, food
handling). Course is aligned with problems/themes.
How would we decouple credentials/certification from course work? What are the
practicalities? Do we need catch-up subjects?
Do we need to create alternative – problem based – credentials?
22
23. Exposing students to the world
Key questions
If it’s important for students to create a public track record, then we need to equip
the students with the skills to create and maintain this track record in a safe way.
How can they learn to use a range of publication tools (blogs, Instagram, …) in a
safe way?
How do they curate their profile?
Do some or all of their projects need to be warranted by an institution?
How do we deal with IP issues?
How do we equip them to deal with the dangers of internet fame?
