Technology is deeply affecting everything in your life and future career prospects.
In a nutshell, what is Instructure?
We’re not just a tech company but a human potential company. We see the challenges both educators and employers have in developing the skills we need to work in our economy so we make technology that helps customers enable that.
Why is being tech-savvy so transferable?
Students need to be able to learn with the aid of technology. Whether you’re a child in primary school or an adult learner, technology is deeply affecting everything in your life and future career prospects.
The experience of learning with technology or teaching with technology is an important experience.
Why is it important to upskill?
We strive together to have humans filling roles that require intellectual skills so investment in lifelong learning as human capital is so important.
How is education changing?
Technology is changing the type of education and skills the future workforce needs and it is doing it at pace.
Even in traditional degrees, universities are updating and changing the ways the educational experience is being delivered.
Students aren’t waiting to enter the workforce after study but entering while studying so institutions need to reach students with the right information at the right time and on the right device.
