Education Trends

Alana Dunagan is a senior higher education researcher at the Clayton Christensen Institute. She studies the higher ed industry, searching for affordable solutions that are beneficial for students, educators, and employers.

Alana seeks answers to questions like, “How can we build a system of higher education that reflects the diverse needs of this country, and is more accessible, more affordable, and higher quality?”

In today’s episode of Education Trends, we address just that. We discuss how established institutions can change to meet the demands of the job market and what they can do to better support lifelong learning. We also talk about alternative credentials, training programs, and which innovations are disrupting higher ed.

Education Trends is brought to you by our friends at Vemo Education. Vemo works with higher education institutions to develop and implement income-based finance programs.

In Season 1 of Education Trends, we’re interviewing 24 leaders, practitioners, and influencers in higher education.

So what’s the goal?

Simple: To help you discover and apply the education trends that matter.

Each week, you’ll hear two deep-dive interviews with professors, provosts, innovators, researchers, and executives from world-class educational organizations.

In these interviews, you’ll learn how other organizations are adapting, innovating, doing more with less, and implementing new strategies and technologies.

You’ll also hear actionable insights and mental models that you can apply in your own higher education path 

We are all here for the same reason. We recognize the power and promise of education. We recognize that although the current system isn’t perfect, if we all work together, we can make it better. We all remember that one teacher or professor who inspired us, and we all remember that one student success story that made it all worthwhile.

Now tap subscribe, sit back, and prepare to learn how leaders are harnessing the latest education trends to serve, educate, and inspire.

The future of education won’t be a brighter one unless we all step up to build it. Welcome to Season 1 of Education Trends…
