Episode Notes

In this episode. Mark and Kiran discuss the transition from an educator-centric learning model to a student-centric learning experience. They also discuss how IMS Global shapes the future of higher education technologies by creating integrated ecosystems with plug-and-play elements that help break down data silos and allow institutions to keep up with the pace of change.

Mark also explores two of the biggest trends in higher ed: intentional, strategic alignment between learning institutions and workforce demands; and how the widespread adoption of Comprehensive Learner Records (CLRs) can help bridge that gap.
