About

Computational technology has transformed almost every aspect of our lives from transportation to healthcare to communication—every aspect except for education. Although technology is being used throughout K-12, higher education, and corporate training, it hasn’t led to rapid improvements for learning experiences or outcomes. Rather than transform learning, technology has followed the basic formula of instruction, digitally replacing or enhancing the textbook or the teacher.

LIVE’s focus on learning rather then teaching is deliberate and important. One thing that has become clear in recent years is that learning happens everywhere and throughout our lives. We learn in informal spaces, snatching up moments to further our own goals and the goals of the communities within which we participate. The solution to our learning dilemma requires a seamless integration of lifelong learning and technology that advances the ability of humans and human processes to learn and adapt.
