Making universal education truly universal: Jamie Alexandre at TEDxUCSD

Описание: Jamie Alexandre is a PhD Candidate in Cognitive Science at UC San Diego, and co-founder of several educational technology platforms, including thisCourse, ESL Genie, and KA Lite. Jamie's curiosity about the world and passion for learning were kindled through his time spent as a child at a Waldorf school in Canada, while his love for technology and tinkering were fostered at home, surrounded by machines he could take apart, put back together, and learn to program, with patient parents supporting him. More recently, he has been grateful for the chance to bring these two passions together, leveraging technological solutions to improve global access to learning opportunities, especially within disadvantaged and isolated communities. Through his work with an inspiring team at the Foundation for Learning Equality, Jamie hopes to help bring the online learning revolution to the 65% of the world that is still offline.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
