Educational institutions of all types are increasingly aware that they must not only teach, but also give their students the opportunities, tools and abilities to learn and meaningfully apply what they learn. Meeting the challenge is made more complex in the face of limited budgets, increased student and industry demands, and competition from every corner.
Ultimately, the solution lies in shifting the educational landscape to different learning environments, more effective evaluation and increased student engagement. That means connected campuses, informed and empowered educators, and students with the ability to use the tools with which they are most familiar, wherever they may be.
To simplify the challenge, educators, the institutions in which they work and the systems they use must focus on the success of their students. They must develop passionate learners, with the tools to collaborate, innovate and create, and inspired to give back and play useful roles in society.
Conquering the challenge comes from creating learning opportunities for students to achieve higher levels of success.
They must have the tools and to seamlessly and securely connect with fellow students, educators, industry mentors and informational resources.
They must be encouraged to apply the connectivity to communicate, collaborate and innovate; to become more active learners, even beyond traditional curricula.
