In this episode of Trending in Education, Mike Palmer sits down with Steve Daly, CEO of Instructure, at the HolonIQ Back to School Summit in New York. Steve shares his journey from mechanical engineering to leading the company behind Canvas, the leading learning management system (LMS). We explore the changing landscape of education, the role of technology in learning, and the potential impact of AI on the future of edtech. Key takeaways: The educational journey is becoming more flexible, with a growing need for diverse pathways and recognition of skills beyond traditional degrees. AI in education shows promise, but its immediate impact may be more focused on simplifying administrative tasks for teachers rather than replacing human interaction. Career success often comes from pursuing opportunities that bring energy and passion, rather than following a predetermined path. Steve describes Instructure's approach to integrating AI securely, the importance of personalization in learning, and the role the company's strategic partnerships play in its strategic development. Steve also offers valuable career advice based on his extensive experience in the tech industry. Subscribe to Trending in Ed wherever you get your podcasts. Visit us at TrendinginEd.com for more.
