The Edtech Podcast

Hot on the heels of our launch of The Voctech Podcast: learning continued series a few nights ago, I’m super happy to share the second episode. This week I speak to Steve Wheeler, a Learning Innovations Consultant and former Associate Professor of Learning Technologies at the Plymouth Institute of Education. We chat about the importance of human capital, empowering employees through knowledge, unlearning and relearning and more! Enjoy!. You can follow the conversation using #voctechpodcast and #voctech.

In this week’s episode, we travel nearly 5000 miles from the UK to China, to talk about increasing interest in competency based education. Plus, a listener news item on a new partnership on UK Maths Edtech. 

The first episode of our new series The Voctech Podcast: Learning Continued. We speak to Richard Price, Learning Technologies Advisor, NHS Health Education England about preparing the healthcare workforce to deliver the digital future as set out in the Topol review, how to communicate training objectives across an enormous and diverse workforce, and how to assess new technologies and their impact on learning. Lots of transferable lessons for anyone utilising or deploying digital skills!

This week we throwback to a second recording from this year’s WISE Summit in Paris.   With an academic professor and an investor we look at the impact of genetic disposition and geographic lotteries on learning, on the double edged sword of international rankings and the problem with coercion as the basis of learning. We explore how to measure impact without creating norms and exclusivity. 

In this episode, we’re travelling back to (the) Future Edtech conference where a panel of Higher Education leaders discuss how to develop the team that delivers change in the context of institutional capability and leadership development for the "21st Century University".

Listen in and get a feel for The Voctech Podcast, a new show from the makers of The Edtech Podcast, supported by Ufi Charitable Trust. This new series explores the intersection of adult learning and tech, including, careers and HR tech, the skills gap and training, diverse workforces and new modes of working, and the foundations for up-skilling and re-skilling.

Welcome to this penultimate episode in our Education 4.0 series with friends at Jisc, looking at the changing world of education in the fourth industrial era. This week we ask “Who can help embed new technologies and working practices?” as we look at the pioneers and settlers needed to create change in education.

This week we share recordings made live at the launch of the European Edtech Network during London Edtech Week.  For those who have been following the news, the ambitions of the network are interesting in the wake of Alt Schools pivot after raising nearly $200 million; many level the perceived failure or change of direction at Alt School to the lack of educators at the helm. We also throw in a few listener messages and some news from the world of edtech events. Enjoy and have a great week!

Welcome to episode five of the Education 4.0 series co-curated with our friends at Jisc, looking at the changing world of education in the fourth industrial era. This week’s episode is all about the personal curriculum. We explore what the personal curriculum might mean in reality, a reality where we can both forge our own path aided by technology but without feeling isolated.

This week’s episode is a LIVE recording at WISE Paris earlier this year, where we cover T-shaped learners (broad and deep), what Greek mythology can tell us about the modern day role of the mentor, and how formative culture and parents are in the learning journey. Naturally, we throw in a bit of machine learning, investment and pedagogy for a fine recipe for your ears. Stay in touch and have a great week!
