It’s been a long time since we’ve seen a slate full of in-person events, conferences and more – but that’s beginning to change.

With the ASU+GSV Summit on the horizon and other events and trade shows popping up around the globe, there’s bound to be an impact on the edtech industry. To find out just what that impact might be, The Age of Digital Learning co-hosts JW Marshall and Kevin Hogan were joined by John Jorgenson, Chief Marketing Officer for Cambium Learning Group.

Cambium leverages a “carefully curated family of companies offering a comprehensive suite of digital-centric products and services” to create “critical solutions to education’s most essential challenges.”

The trio explored the implications of the accelerating return to in-person events like the Summit.

With the last year and a half featuring more acceleration than ever before, can that momentum continue without the pressing necessity of remote learning to power it? How will edtech help facilitate the return to in-person instruction this fall and empower teachers to not only readjust, but make up for potential learning loss?

Find those answers and more on this insightful episode of The Art of Digital Learning, which will continue to engender powerful discussion about the industry up to the Summit and beyond.

After standardizing AV, UAMS can turn a classroom over in five days

After standardizing AV, UAMS can turn a classroom over in five days

UAMS found 80% of past classroom design requests were identical, so it built one scalable AV equipment list. Rooms now turn over in five days, and installs can run year-round. At URI, staff saw no support calls in the first week after upgrades, and both URI and Brandeis describe benefits like remote fixes and keeping fewer spare parts on hand.

  • 01At UAMS, the classroom standard was already sitting in the request history: 80% of past room designs were identical. Counting matches in old requests is a cheap first test for any campus.
  • 02A five-day room turnover means AV installs can run all year, because a class can usually move rooms for a week. Summer stops being the only install window.
  • 03A standard room can still use displays from three different brands. Consistency comes from the layout, the wiring and the controls.

More than two-thirds don’t meaningfully engage with career services—why existing resources go unused

More than two-thirds don’t meaningfully engage with career services—why existing resources go unused

More than two-thirds of college students don't use career services despite most schools already investing in job boards, resume builders, and employer networks. uConnect's platform addresses the problem not by creating new tools but by integrating existing campus resources into a centralized hub and using historical outcome data to guide each student to relevant resources.

  • 01Two-thirds of students don't meaningfully engage with existing career services at their colleges
  • 02Career services sits as an opt-in student service rather than core infrastructure, leaving most resources unused while schools pay for them anyway
  • 03uConnect uses each school's own outcome data to create personalized pathways, showing students what courses, internships, and connections led peers with similar backgrounds to successful outcomes

School districts wait until 2027 to tap DOE's $100 million energy program

School districts wait until 2027 to tap DOE's $100 million energy program

The U.S. Department of Energy's $100 million A+STEPS school energy program funds four to eight regional hubs before any district gets help. Coalition bids for hubs are due Jan. 15, 2027. Districts, eligible for up to $250,000 in early upgrades, enter through a separate process with selections expected in fall 2027.

  • 01The first deadline in DOE's $100 million school energy program, Jan. 15, 2027, belongs to the engineering firms, utilities and universities bidding to run regional hubs; districts won't be selected until fall 2027.
  • 02A single round of four to eight hubs at $2 million to $5 million each would commit roughly $8 million to $40 million, well under the $100 million ceiling, which points to multiple rounds.
  • 03For a district facing an equipment replacement this budget year, A+STEPS is a planning tool on a 2027 calendar; its value is a financeable project plan more than the $250,000 early-work cap.
