Education technology should be intuitive and easy to use, and Edmentum’s Chief Technology Officer, Paul Johansen, joins the show to share how they’re working to save educators time, not take more of it.

Paul chats with Tim Bornholdt of The Jed Mahonis Group about how emerging technologies are being implemented in education (and the privacy concerns that go along with it), how feedback and stakeholder buy in fuel innovation, and the challenges and benefits of dispersed technical teams.

In this episode, you will learn:

• How listening to the market creates innovation


• Why building an evidence case behind innovation leads to stakeholder buy in


• How to organize product management


• How conversations around data privacy are becoming more enlightened


• How the pandemic has inspired the entrepreneurial spirit of teachers


• Challenges and advantages of a dispersed team


• The role of psychological safety in the feedback loop


• When to outsource a project versus handling internally

This episode is brought to you by The Jed Mahonis Group, where we make sense of mobile app development with our non-technical approach to building custom mobile software solutions. Learn more at https://jmg.mn.
