About the Panel Discussion

The coronavirus pandemic has reshaped education for today and probably for the future. Our society is changing at a rapid rate, as is the nature of students, their needs, expectations and the careers, lifestyles and interests that motivate them to learn. Dr. Ivy stated, “Never lose the opportunity of a crisis.” There are several points we can learn from the challenges of adapting through this crisis! Any organization that does not adapt, iterate, and evolve with the ever-transient nature of our modern-day world, will categorically be left behind and ultimately may not survive. Technology will continue to play a big role in this continued shift as we think of collaboration tools, artificial intelligence, virtual reality, and augmented reality. Digital transformation is no longer an option, but a necessity. How will the educational arena embrace these changes? This esteemed panel of industry thought leaders will emphasize how we as a global society must adapt to be successful. The right time is now!
