C-Suite TV debuts, offers advice for the boardroom — from streamingmedia.com by Troy Dreier
Business leaders now have an on-demand video network to call their own, thanks to one Bloomberg host’s online venture.

Excerpt:

Bringing some business acumen to the world of online video, C-Suite TV is launching today. Created by Bloomberg TV host and author Jeffrey Hayzlett, the on-demand video network offers interviews with and shows about business execs. It promises inside information on business trends and the discussions taking place in the biggest boardrooms.

Excerpt:

Rather than wait for networks or try and gain traction through the thousands of cat videos, we went out and built our own network.

From DSC:
The above items took me back to the concept of Learning from the Living [Class] Room.

Many of the following bullet points are already happening — but what I’m trying to influence/suggest is to bring all of them together in a powerful, global, 24 x 7 x 365, learning ecosystem:

• When our “TVs” become more interactive…
• When our mobile devices act as second screens and when second screen-based apps are numerous…
• When discussion boards, forums, social media, assignments, assessments, and videoconferencing capabilities are embedded into our Smart/Connected TVs and are also available via our mobile devices…
• When education is available 24 x 7 x 365…
• When even the C-Suite taps into such platforms…
• When education and entertainment are co-mingled…
• When team-based educational content creation and delivery are mainstream…
• When self-selecting Communities of Practice thrive online…
• When Learning Hubs combine the best of both worlds (online and face-to-face)…
• When Artificial Intelligence, powerful cognitive computing capabilities (i.e., IBM’s Watson), and robust reporting mechanisms are integrated into the backends…
• When lifelong learners have their own cloud-based profiles…
• When learners can use their “TVs” to tap into interactive, multimedia-based streams of content of their choice…
• When recommendation engines are offered not just at Netflix but also at educationally-oriented sites…
• When online tutoring and intelligent tutoring really take off…

…then I’d say we’ll have a powerful, engaging, responsive, global education platform.
