Brian Potash is the Regional Manager for OverDrive Education, and he dropped by to discuss his thoughts on the future of technology in education.

“I’ve been so excited to see the sheer amount of technology and EdTech that has been injected into the classroom.

While the pandemic has been extremely challenging for schools and educators, it has provided a very unique opportunity to advance education by more than a decade by providing different types of tools and resources that educators have never had before this.

And what’s exciting is that, while many schools have tried digital for the first time because of the need for remote and blended learning, they are now excited to enjoy the benefits that digital can provide by providing students with greater accessibility and greater tools and providing teachers with better insights into how students are engaging with those digital materials.

So, it’s really exciting to see where we can go from here.”

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, suggesting that a campus AI plan should pair tool adoption with explicit faculty support and readiness efforts, not treat implementation 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 with $1,200 per student per year in flexible funds to remove work-based learning barriers—shifting power from funder control to campus ownership and helping seniors complete internships at rates above national figures.

  • 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.
