CEEMAN EdTech Seminar: Adventures in Educational Transformation
This year’s EdTech seminar, took more than a dozen professors, program directors and administrators from Europe, Russia, and the United States on a dizzying exploration of graduate management education in the throes of disruption and change.
EdTech seminar, hosted by CEEMAN at the IEDC-Bled School of Management during October 15-18, took participants on a dizzying exploration of graduate management education in the throes of disruption and change. This is a place where micro-masters replace traditional two-year MBA programs, where gamification supplants conventional lectures and tests, and terms like “virality, badges, block chain, uplinking, digital learning, playability, chunking, and grinding” are the nomenclature of the day.
The guides on this journey were three educational leaders who not only acknowledge the disruption happening in traditional academia, they are excited to be disrupters themselves. Nikos Mylonopoulos, associate professor of Digital Business at ALBA Graduate Business School at the American College of Greece, Eleni Lamprou, online faculty member at Laureate Online Education, and Marcin Wardaszko, director of the Center for Simulation Games and Gamification at Kozminski University in Poland, made convincing arguments for attendees to think forward and to disconnect, not just from the past, but from the present, as well. Associate Provost for Digital Learning and Innovation at Boston College, Chris Dellarocas, also dropped by via Zoom to talk to about the commodification of education.
