The EdTech Innovation Showcase is a networking event featuring product demonstrations and lightning presentations from entrepreneurs who are leading the regional EdTech space.
From k–12 through higher education, these startups are transforming education. They are addressing real-world issues—assessment, learning enhancements, admissions, funding, professional development, project-based learning, engagement—that affect the entire education ecosystem.
President Catherine Saldutti was interviewed by EdTech Digest, the publishers of the report, and this is her statement:
“Instructional design is one of the most complex, dynamic and underrated activities in the design space, and perhaps the most critically needed technology in education today. After leveraging design science and systems thinking for 17 years, EduChange believes that Sustainable Open Educational Resources (SOER) will greatly improve the quality of digital curricula. Learning-centered, comprehensive, coherent instruction will never be accomplished by teacher assembly of disparate digital artifacts, including lessons. SOER makes collaborative roles explicit, permits ongoing, systematic revision, and supports reasonable teacher development through incremental changes over time. EduChange delivers a secondary STEM program driven by authentic global contexts, ensconced in an evolving content ecosystem, and mapped to our current understanding of how people actually learn. We integrate and track 485+ teaching and learning variables.”
