Transforming Educational Materials: Platforms, Personalization, and the Future of Learning Content

Recorded live at the 2025 ASU+GSV Summit in San Diego, this session featured Bryon Grigsby, President of Moravian University; Cheryl Costantini, SVP of Product at Cengage Group; Jose Ferreira, Founder & CEO of BookBaker; Nachiket Paratkar, SVP and Business Head of Higher Education & Workforce at LearningMate; and Mike Malefakis, President of University Partnerships at Emeritus.

The session explored how digital learning platforms must evolve not only in delivery but in content to meet the demands of an AI-driven world. Panelists discussed the importance of teaching students more than just facts—focusing instead on cultivating the “7 Cs”: critical thinking, creativity, communication, collaboration, curiosity, cultural competence, and character. With a blend of technology and pedagogy, the conversation examined how education can prepare learners for an unpredictable future by developing the skills that matter most.
