What’s in this episode?
Hello everyone and welcome to The Edtech Podcast!
Thank you for being patient as we took a break over the Summer and prepared for our next season. This week we throwback to a second recording from this year’s WISE Summit in Paris. In this episode you’ll hear from two speakers on the topic of the future of learning, Heidi Harju-Luukkainen, Professor, Nord University and Angel Investor, Khaled Helioui. 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.
Stay in touch and have a great week!

Quotes from this episode
“More than enough right now is just chasing growth at all costs.”“Coercion is the best way to hinder learning.”“We forget that some of the most necessary innovation is not a technology innovation…it is an innovation of a business model, it is an innovation of incentives.”“We need to stop feeding information into students in blocks. It needs to be connected.”“Students with an immigrant background are lagging two years behind students without an immigrant background.
