The Eight Levers of Edtech Transformation - by Lori Niles-Hofmann (Paperback)

About the Book

This book is for learning leaders who must wire AI into rickety learning systems, untangle the knotty skills agenda, and remain focused on what really matters -- impact!

The book is packed with stories from Lori Niles-Hofmann's 25 years in the EdTech trenches. It contains frameworks and methodologies you can use right now, along with practical lessons she learned the hard way (so you don't have to do so).

Book Synopsis

As organizations look to transform in the face of increasing change, the technology used needs to similarly mature. In this forward-thinking book, leading learning strategist Lori Niles-Hoffman provides us with a tested approach to guide our implementation of technology to support learning. She takes us through eight well-considered perspectives that together make a coherent way to look at how we can facilitate learning across the organization. She considers the strategy shift necessary to support learning and takes a holistic approach to the environment in which such solutions may live. Lori helps us align stakeholders, data, and other knowledge sources to yield an integrated and effective whole. With wit and grace, this book provides the tools you need to make sense of technology as we move to the future.
