Mr Deng's IT News Collection: Education is not exempt either. Established educational institutions are being rattled by new players like General Assembly and Lynda.com, which are avoiding the looming hold major universities have over potential paying students and instead are thriving by addressing specific needs for new skills or accelerated training. On the flip side, the universities, TAFEs and schools that are embracing more tech-driven ways of teaching and learning are future-proofing themselves against more agile start-ups and are expanding their pool of student candidates to include those learning online or remotely. In each of these industries, we’re seeing innovation stem from a focus on what the customer wants. It’s not rocket science, and it can come from any person or business as long as the right drivers are behind the decision-making and product design.
