Khan Academy Founder Sal Khan and AT&T Assistant Vice President, Corporate Social Responsibility Mylayna Albright are bringing their unparalleled insights to a live episode of MarketScale’s Voices of eLearning, which will air on Thursday, June 24th at 1pm ET/12pm CT.

The episode will source the industry leaders’ insights about learning loss – and explore why, in the face of a year of disruption, Khan Academy and AT&T are focusing instead on engineering learning gains that will elevate students’ experience as they return to campus this fall.

Khan Academy and AT&T are working alongside one another to bring solutions to students across the country, including new educational content. AT&T contributed $3 million to Khan Academy, which will “support personalized student learning, including free virtual summer camps for students” and “help stem learning loss, narrow the homework gap and deliver high-quality learning experiences anywhere today’s connected students learn.”

The digital divide is of chief concern to educators and edtech innovators, and Voices of eLearning host JW Marshall has invited Khan and Albright to this industry-leading edtech platform to help audiences understand ways the nation’s educational system and other governing bodies are working to address that gap.

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.
