Innovation in Education: How Technology is Transforming Corporate Learning

Home

The Internet and mobile technology has enabled innovative business models which have transformed industries including retail (Amazon and TMall), transportation (Uber and Didi) and personal finance (PayPal and WeChat Wallet) to name a few. Many have predicted that education is the next industry ripe for transformation, but so far the no business or model has yet emerged which has changed the traditional model to the extent seen in other industries.

AmCham Shanghai’s Technology and Innovation Committee and ILE invites you to participate in a special seminar and panel discussion exploring how technology is driving innovative new approaches in corporate learning including Alan MacCharles, Partner at Deloitte China, Yang Cao, Founder and CEO at 60kou, Ray Tsang, Managing Partner at CHVC Venture Capital, Sally Yue, Director, Global Teacher Centers at Hujiang, and Robert Abbanat, CEO at International Learning Enterprises (ILE).

Our expert panel will explore issues including:

· Which technologies are driving change in corporate learning and what advantages do they bring?
· What are the inefficiencies or problems with corporate learning which open the door for innovative new business models?
· What will corporate learning look like in 2020?
· How do companies balance the transformation from old to new? For example, offline to online learning?
