About This Event |
In partnership with Google Cloud - EdTechX Presents the fourth event in the 2021 Spotlight Series.
Join us Thursday 29 April for our next EdTechX Spotlight with Google Cloud to learn how EdTech companies are transforming classrooms, campuses, and workforces worldwide with powerful and sustainable AI and Analytics solutions. Over the past year, COVID-19 was an unapologetic agent of acceleration, shifting one billion learners from in-person to online learning within two months. The rapid transition to online learning exposed many schools and workforces’ lack of readiness for a blended learning environment. It also widened the learning equity gap for students, with fewer than 40 percent of students from low-income families having access to the tools required for remote learning. During a series of short presentations each followed by interactive Q&A sessions - you’ll have the opportunity to engage with Google Cloud experts and partners to learn about trends in education, partnership opportunities, cloud-native solutions. Whether you’re in the early days of product-market fit or you’ve just received your next round of funding, Google Cloud can help solve your biggest problems in education and workforce development. |
