Highlights

01
A marathon instead of a sprint
Digital services have made education a hobby for millions of people. They get knowledge every
day, all life long, without any proms or exams. Education is like jogging in the morning:
it is about your personal goals, getting practical benefits, and just deriving pleasure.
02
Decentralizing education
Flexible educational systems are ousting traditional ones. There have emerged companies
who are building online collaborations and help students from different universities and countries
study together. How should teachers, parents, and states deal with this situation?
03
Knowledge is getting out of control
Schools and universities have lost monopoly over the dissemination of knowledge. Each person online
is merely seconds away from world knowledge. Can we build
sustainable system processes or shall education become an uncontrolled phenomenon, like an avalanche,
in years to come?
04
Individual textbooks
Personalized approach to learning is the hype. One student might be a visual learner, whereas another is an auditory one.
Some need abstract examples, others are lost in generalizations and call for purely specific stuff.
Artificial intelligence can teach every student as if he or she were the only learner on earth.
05
Virtual reality
Why would you explain the evolution theory using only words, pictures or videos when
you could teleport your students million years back?
If you still think virtual reality is exuberantly
expensive, let us prove you wrong, we’ll tell you how to implement it in the learning process just with the help
of some cardboard, glue, and scissors.
06
What will take over an exam?
How can we understand what a student really knows or is able to do? How to evaluate without bias?
Do we need exams or diplomas? What would employers do if
evaluation system disappears tomorrow? What does computer vision have to do with it?
Also
Designer babies
There already exist the first children with edited DNA. The visionaries predict the mainstreamification of
the design of future kids, from eye-colour to intelligence. What will happen with education?
Polylingual education
Studying several languages simultaneously is a great stress factor for a kid,
but only if the teaching department has failed to implement innovative practices. Which ones?
The 2020s kid
Children consume YouTube and Twitch content through broadcasting and vlogs. Can we
use those for educational purposes? Is a teacher able to
able to impart knowledge using modern means of communication?
Assessing the efficiency of education
What does a customer want in corporate education? How to measure the efficiency of
training or online classes? Can we calculate ROI with accuracy to 5%?
Developing and training HR-leads
What should they know about their company and how deep should their involvement be in all business processes?
Investment in EdTech
What do investors want? Can a Russian startup penetrate the world educational market?
What are the perspectives of the Russian market? Is there enough capacity and investment appeal?
