A Glimpse into the Creation of the Artifacts Kits

One of the most exciting aspects of the Artifacts Kits is the wealth of sources that were used to create them. The Boxlight team did not simply rely on generic museum artifacts. Instead, they embarked on an adventure that extended past the boundaries of classroom walls and leading museums, into the heart of different cultures.

3D Scanning Technology: Bridging Past and Present

Among the captivating elements of the Artifacts Kits is the 3D scanning of artifacts. One standout example of this feature is the Cycladic Bull, an artifact discovered in Greece. Using 3D scanning technology, a physical artifact was faithfully replicated for students to understand better its historical significance.

Breathing Life into History

What makes the Artifacts Kits so transformative is the immersive experience they offer. Rather than merely reading about different periods in history, students can now explore them interactively, providing a richer and more engaging learning experience.

Organizational support is positively tied to faculty agility in a survey of 497 faculty

Organizational support is positively tied to faculty agility in a survey of 497 faculty

A study of 497 faculty at public and private universities in India finds organizational support positively and significantly associated with faculty agility. Agility, in turn, partly links digital transformation to sustainable work outcomes.

  • 01Faculty agility partially mediates the link between digital transformation and sustainable work outcomes; the article frames the takeaway as a conditional: campuses adopting AI may need to plan for faculty readiness and support alongside measuring adoption, rather than treating it as a software purchase alone.
  • 02The findings come from a cross-sectional survey, so they show association rather than cause, and they sit alongside other research where the proposed middle step did not carry AI's effect through.

Strada's $25M HBCU bet started with listening, not a program to fund

Strada's $25M HBCU bet started with listening, not a program to fund

Strada Education Foundation committed $25 million over eight years to HBCUs in August 2020 and, instead of imposing a pre-designed program, ran a listening tour with presidents and chancellors to surface needs. The framework that emerged now runs at 47 institutions, pairing a $7,000 scholarship per student with $1,200 per student per year that campuses can direct toward work-based learning barriers—shifting power from funder control to campus ownership. Graham says Strada’s seniors run well ahead of national internship figures, which he attributes to treating work-based learning as part of the educational experience from the start, supported by coaching and advising.

  • 01Strada Education Foundation committed $25 million over eight years to HBCUs, then developed a work-based learning-focused framework after a listening tour with campus leaders.
  • 02The foundation prioritized listening to the institutions before creating the scholarship program.
  • 03The initiative allows HBCUs to direct funds according to their specific needs.
