BenQ Senior Director of Business Development Bob Wudeck and Digital Marketing Manager Carly Burton Sallay joined MarketScale Business Development Manager Shannon Maverick in MarketScale’s Trinity Studio for a discussion on exciting innovations in Education Technology.

Specifically, the trio touched on the evolution of in-classroom technology, highlighting the direction of the EdTech industry as a new decade begins.

Wudeck said the primary purpose of technology in education, from chalkboards to the latest, cutting-edge solutions, is to bridge gaps in learning for students.

The technology-native nature of today’s younger generations, Burton Sallay said, is also a key consideration in the modern EdTech space.

“They’re introduced to technology basically the moment they’re out of the womb,” she said. “They are learning at a different pace and in a different way than we ever did when we were younger.”

That comfort with technology, Burton Sallay said, has allowed technology to play a greater role in education sooner in students’ lives than ever before.

AI Readiness in Education

AI Readiness in Education

AI adoption in education requires students to develop practical problem-solving skills and readiness to use AI effectively in their careers. Dr. Ngoc Cindy Pham at CUNY Brooklyn College redesigns curricula to emphasize AI literacy through experiential learning and industry partnerships that align academic training with real-world employer needs.

  • 01Students must defend their AI-assisted decisions through reasoning, not just rely on AI outputs, to ensure understanding of marketing concepts in practice.
  • 02Educational institutions should partner with employers as co-creators of curriculum rather than designing courses on theory alone, ensuring skills meet actual workplace demands.
  • 03AI literacy and readiness are becoming central to higher education frameworks, requiring continuous collaboration between educators and industry to adapt to evolving technologies.

The First Year Experience: A Panel Discussion

The First Year Experience: A Panel Discussion

A panel discussion on the "Signals and Higher Ed" podcast explored how universities enhance the first-year experience for student success. Experts from Arizona State University, University of Utah, and Podium Education emphasized the importance of integrating work and learning, balancing exploration with guided discovery, and preparing students for post-graduation career outcomes from day one.

  • 01Universities should expose students to work-integrated learning and career preparation in the first year, not defer professional development to later semesters
  • 02Structured exploration programs like ASU's Explore and University of Utah's Quest help students discover interests without overwhelming pressure to commit to a major immediately
  • 03Institutions must redesign educational processes to reduce unnecessary major changes and excess credit accumulation, enabling timely graduation and better career readiness
