This week I sat down with Ray Batra of Shift_Up Learning Gym to talk about what he’s learned from 10 years in Edtech, and his vision for the college of the future. I really enjoyed this interview with Ray, whose breadth of experience in education is unparalleled and has given him a unique perspective on the space.  Selected  Links  From  The  Episode Ray Batra Shift_Up Ray’s writing for Ed Surge The Uses of The University- Clark Kerr The Degree Is Doomed by Michael Staton Mission Collaborative Praxis Minerva Make School Peloton U DUET Lambda school Austen Allred Timestamps 📍 @00:59 Ray's Background @02:31 The Learning Gym @05:22 What Ray's changed his mind on after exploring ed tech further @09:51 Unbundling the college experience @12:48 Most promising college alternatives @16:21 The power of learning communities @19:25 What Ray would do as president of Harvard @20:39 What Ray would do as CEO of Lambda School @21:36 Personal SWAT teams
