Read: Tech Enablement of Portrait of a Graduate is Already Here
Tech enablement of learners has been acknowledged by the education community and others as a necessity for moving forward into the new skills-based hiring ecosystem for quite some time. The key is skills visibility. After all, what good is an employer focusing on hiring for skills if a candidate cannot prove what skills they have in a clear and verifiable way?
Through the use of machine-readable data, combined with human inputs and organisational technology and infrastructure, educators, learners, and employers can access data about the learner’s progress and achievements 24/7. Discover the transformative power of a tech enabled portrait of a graduate in our latest blog.
Edalex has published a range of new use cases, exemplifying how industry, educators and organisations are leading the way in skills-based technology adoption. These market leaders include universities, K-12 schools, professional organisations and EdTech developers, who each have taken action on preparing to participate in the skills-based ecosystem of the future.
“We need to shift from a jobs-only perspective to a skills-based perspective on both sides of the supply and demand curve. It’s heartening to see these organisations leading the way in demonstrating to the market not only that it can be done, but how it can be done,” said Dan McFadyen, Managing Director at Edalex.
On 21 February, Edalex and Learning Vault co-hosted an insightful webinar showcasing the evolution of our award-winning Learner Dashboard solution, co-designed with the Hunter School of The Performing Arts (HSPA). The recording of the webinar is now available and offers insights from Nicholas Robert Alderdice, CEO at Learning Vault, Margo Griffith, Principal Skills Consultant at Edalex, and Darren Ponman, Principal at HSPA. In the webinar they discuss:
The macro landscape of the skills-based economy and the critical need for granular and portable recognition of skills and knowledge across sectors
Challenges and innovations in streamlining the Mastery Learning model using digital badges, skills data, interoperability and the Learner Dashboard
The profound impacts on students, parents, teachers and administrators
