A Cultural shift
My own personal journey began by resetting the pervasive terms and obsolete mindsets. I promoted the creation of a new language that allowed for reflection.- We don’t build products, we co-create solutions focused at our customer needs
- We do not manage product catalogs, we have to deploy learning assets and keep the appraisal process of these assets to be valuable
- We do not know better, we have our own views that have to be integrated with the teachers, students, institutions to be fully applicable.
- We must win from legitimacy not from tradition.
- We don’t have a higher truth, we must look outside, learn every day, compare ourselves to the best.
- We are global. Learning is of human nature it does not happen in a place at a time or only at a learning system.
- We must measure everything and continuously, what worked last semester very likely will be challenged for next.
- Technology must be conceived as a tool, to play a role only together with pedagogy, teacher skills and student interests.
- Everything is connected: Formal and informal learning, school and home, college and work, museums and communities, content and technology
