It’s always a slow and steady march when it comes to education disruption. This year we saw a number of compelling trends and tools. First, the move towards digital credentialing is making its mark on how skills and experience are shared. Credly, Coursera, EdX, Viridis, Open4Learning and others showed how organizations are leveraging lifelong learning via online platforms for employee retooling and job skill growth. Capella shared details about its unique partnership with CareerBuilder and how tech and education can increase employment. Both augmented and virtual realities from companies including VDO360 and Daqri let us imagine a more immersive educational journey. Google Education’s Jaime Casap showed us the future of cloud computing in education and the benefits it can deliver.
