BriefingsDirect Podcasts

This new normal amounts to more than a repaving of centuries-old, in-class traditions of higher education with a digital wrapper.

The next BriefingsDirect panel discussion explores how such innovation today in remote learning may also hold lessons for how businesses and governments interact with and enlighten their workers, customers, and ultimately citizens.
