Ivon Prefontaine's curator insight, June 10, 9:18 AM

I agree with the premise. Without substantial change, does it happen? I mean both in structure and leadership. The present structure is not designed and we lack educational leadership to make the necessary changes.

For dispelling any illusions:

Is digital literacy the new financial literacy?

Is digital literacy the new financial literacy? | Voices in the Feminine - Digital Delights | Scoop.it
Legal decisions in the wake of corporate failures like Enron, WorldCom and, in Australia, Centro continue to reinforce financial literacy as imperative for business leaders.
Ana Cristina Pratas's insight:

"Given that more of the business dollar is likely to be spent in technology, leaders need to ask questions like:

  1. How will data translate into useful knowledge and be used for business outcomes?
  2. How will cloud impact our risk and security strategy, or our traditional models of procurement?
  3. What, if any, is the relationship between digital investment and productivity?
  4. Can social media be used strategically and what is the ROI?"

Margie's curator insight, June 12, 5:52 AM

Daphne Koller is one of the co-founders of COURSERA - a provider of free online courses from reputable universities. Here, she discusses the benefits that students have reaped from attending the courses and what has been learned by this experience in terms of online education.

Coursera offers some excellent courses on  a huge range of topics so if you're interested in taking a course yourself, it maybe worth checking out.

https://www.coursera.org/ 

Daniel Moix's curator insight, June 13, 10:25 AM

"This allows us to break away from the one-size-fits-all model of education and allows students to follow a much more personalized curriculum."  Students who have grown up to be active consumers of course content fit this model.  How do we... rehabilitiate?... our nontraditional students for whom active learning is frightening and uncomfortable?
