Session Title: Smart Product Design to Increase Student Success
How can smart product design lead to better student outcomes in the classroom? How can we build digital tools that fit as seamlessly into students’ lives as Snapchat and Instagram? Cengage Learning thinks about this all day, every day, and we are looking for sharp minds to come on board. Join our Chief Technology Officer for a cup of coffee and an interactive session around the intersection of education and technology. See a demonstration of the latest digital tools hitting the classroom and hear about the transformation of a large scale publisher into a leading edtech company recently named one of the Top Four Hottest Companies in BostInno’s Tech Madness Bracket.
Special Message to Attendees:
Please enter Cengage Learning via 20 Channel Center Street and go to reception on the 6th floor. The Channel Center garage is right around the corner and there are surface lots and meters on A Street. They are easy to spot and a very short walking distance.
69% of tech executives cite talent as a top barrier to their company’s future growth. In this session, we’ll discuss the six characteristics of successful employees in rapidly growing companies. Employers will learn how to screen for culture fit, while those looking to break into the tech industry will gain insight into how to appeal to hiring managers. A technically capable hire will get the job done—a strategic hire with passion, grit, and a willingness to put the company before themselves will positively impact the entire business.
Suggested Audience: Companies looking to scale, improve their company's culture, or employees looking to appeal to hiring managers should attend.
