Think about how different the world is from how it was 100 years ago. A century ago we barely had cars, paved roads, or phones. The world wasn’t connected by air travel, television, computers, or the internet. Revolutionary advancements make the modern world unrecognizable from the not so distant past. Yet there are certain places you can go where the impact of progress is less felt. If you were to enroll in a university and go to class a century ago things would flow in a very similar way to how they do today. The clothes and culture would stand out far more than the format of classes and education as a whole. Today’s guest, and the university he works for, is aiming to change that. Laurence works for Minerva University where the progress is the norm, the world is your classroom, and skill mastery is on the agenda. It’s time for revolutionary advancement to come to the world of education.
