EdTech Leaders Perspectives: An Interview with Instructure
- Melissa Loble, Chief Customer Experience Officer, Instructure
Melissa Loble discusses the importance of access to online environments and stresses that now is the time to be preparing for the fall with new low-risk possibilities for the use of new instructional tools, resources, less static content, and data on content usage and outcomes. 1EdTech has made the rapid response possible, and the hope is that many more organizations will see the importance of the 1EdTech work.
"We were very lucky moving into this because we were interoperable. That allowed for districts and higher education institutions to quickly integrate technologies that perhaps weren't being used at mass across that organization and not have the integration be the challenge but more how do we get folks trained on how to use those new technologies."
