Education Industry Challenges
• Edge cost
• Incomplete content digitization (exams, quizes, lesson plans)
• Limited broadband access
• A focus on money rather than innovation
• Global sharing and collaboration impediments
Call To Action – Access and Digitization
• "In South Korea, all schools are connected to the internet with high-speed connections, all teachers are trained in digital learning, and printed textbooks will be phased out by 2016.”
Call To Action – Connected Software and Hardware
• "A robust market in educational software can unlock the full educational potential of these investments and create American jobs and export opportunities in a global education marketplace of over $1 trillion. Third-party validators can help schools find educational software (including apps) that provide content aligned with college- and career-ready standards being adopted and implemented by States across America."
Roadmap
• Build an engaging environment
• Enable collaboration across boundaries
• Deeply embed activity streams
• Unlock data, knowledge, and intellectual property
