NGDLE Discussion: Component and Start-Up Vendors

Using Legos as a metaphor, the NGDLE white paper recommends a component-based or "building block" approach to developing learning environments. In this segment, we'll engage with panelists whose companies make such components, to hear what they think of the NGDLE framework and the role of companies like theirs in future learning environments. What are the opportunities and challenges for vendors of learning components in a landscape like that of NGDLE? What alliances and partnerships might be possible that would benefit both companies and institutions? By participating, attendees will understand more fully the opportunities and challenges facing component vendors with respect to future learning environments and will explore new ways that companies and institutions will be able to work together.
