DE SIG@Duke: Arizona State University’s Innovation and Online Unit: EdPlus at ASU

Join your distance education colleagues on Dec. 6, 2016 for an engaging discussion with panelists from EdPlus at Arizona State University (ASU).

For two years in a row, ASU has been named the most innovative university in the country by US News & World Report and is widely recognized as a leader in online and global education. A significant amount of ASU’s innovation has come out of EdPlus at ASU, whose mission is to “reimagine teaching and learning and deliver education at scale and speed to everyone, everywhere,” and to have a major impact on society.

Description: DE SIG @Duke is pleased to welcome back (virtually) our founder, Marc Sperber, who since 2015 has worked for a skunkworks within EdPlus, also known as their strategic design and development team.
