An interview with 360ed.tv on EdTech innovations and disruption on the horizon

In my roles as General Manager of Navitas Learning and Teaching Services and Head of Digital Learning Futures for Navitas Ventures, I get to work across the whole spectrum of innovation in education. The former gives me a chance to work with all Navitas colleges globally to innovate together in the core of teaching, learning and student experience design, whilst the latter role journeys to the edges of the sector where new and potentially disruptive innovations, technologies and business models are emerging.

Wearing both these hats involves seeing the models and innovations on the horizon, as well as transforming the core business from its current state to improve student outcomes.
