A New Reality for Education: Lifelong Learning in Uncertain Times



Join us for the inaugural session of IMAGINE: The New World of Education, a series of conversations with (and for) education leaders who are adapting and thriving in our new normal.

 
IMAGINE: The New World of Education, a global webinar series presented by Amazon Web Services (AWS), showcases education institutions and organizations that have innovated in the cloud to ensure that learners of all ages have access to the education, training, and resources needed to keep our world moving forward.
 
In this Fireside Chat hear about strategies for continuing to support lifelong learning remotely from Marykay Wells, Chief Information Officer of Pearson and Kim Majerus, Director of State and Local Government and Education at AWS. MaryKay and Kim will discuss Pearson’s learnings from this spring that will carry them into the fall, how they are leveraging the cloud to reduce downtime for their customers, and how they envision the future of education evolving in this new normal.
