The future of work & learning: An interview

by | Thursday, November 15, 2018

I had posted earlier about my visit to Bangalore back in summer to participate in the Quest 2 Learn Annual Summit organized by the Quest Alliance. The two day conference focused on The future of work and learning. During my visit I was interviewed by Aakash Sethi, the head of Quest Alliance team and an edited version of the interview was recently posted on YouTube. We covered a lot of ground in the interview and about educational technology, 21st century learning, John Dewey, experience design, systems thinking and more. Enjoy
