Full Session Description (as long as you would like): 

One of the most explosive areas of growth in the field of higher education is currently in emerging international markets.  In countries like India, Kenya, South Africa, and Malaysia, strong demand for education is outpacing government-sponsored options.  In traditional brick and mortar classrooms, there is literally not enough physical classroom space to accommodate the growing populations of these countries, and universities are having to turn away potential students as a result.  The ratio of students to teachers is very high, and the style of teaching is typically less interactive than what we are accustomed to in the US.  In addition to these challenges, access to external information and supplementary content outside of class is typically limited.  In this presentation, Sandeep Aji, Head of Product and Global Business Development for Impartus, will provide concrete examples of how video-based learning platforms are being used successfully at universities around the world, and explain why emerging markets may leapfrog more industrialized nations in their adoption of new education technology.
