We were happy to kick off the ProsvITa for Educators event yesterday organized by Chernihiv.ITT Cluster and Chernihiv Polytechnic National Universityy! Connecting the real-world #IT business environment with academia is crucial for shaping the next generation of tech talent. The event, designed specifically for university faculty, aims to close the gap between curriculum and industry expectations by providing: 1. An overview of current IT market trends and the in-demand competencies from young professionals. 2. Practical recommendations for modernizing existing curricula. 3. #Workshops to develop concrete solutions for updating university courses. The day started strong with a welcome speech from our Operations Director Julia Daineko, followed by an insightful presentation on "THE IT MARKET TODAY: Trends, Competencies, Expectations" delivered by expert speakers: our Technology DirectorAnatoliy M.k and Olich Klymanskaa the HRD of SendPulse. We believe that investing in educators is investing in the future of our industry. Thanks to the Chernihiv.IT Cluster and the faculty for their commitment to excellence!

In our response to the IES RFI re #education #research, we focused tightly on the opportunity we see to do research at scale that carries practical importance. We focus on Digital Learning Platforms as Research Infrastructure. He's a bit of what we submitted, together w Steve Ritter Conrad Borchers Avery Closser Our research network, called https://SEERnet.org and hosted by Digital Promise & Empirical Education, has been exploring how using educational technology as research infrastructure can improve the relevance, efficiency, and applicability of research conducted in educational settings. SEERNet is presently funded by IES in the Accelerate, Transform, Scale program. In addition to SEERNet, we note that complementary or related work has been inspired by SEERNet and subsequently funded by NSF (SafeInsights) and by private foundations. We have found that there is a movement emerging about how leveraging digital technologies could modernize education research, making it more efficient, agile, and scalable. Our recommendations are: 1. Adopt a phased funding approach, similar to SBIR, with quicker, shorter initial projects to establish the value of a research approach. 2. Encourage research that starts at a large scale. 3. Give more weight to external validity (will the results matter in practice?) 4. Encourage partnerships among researchers, educators, and technologies that are already operating at scale and willing to support research in their educational platform.

From Guest Lectures to Live Projects: The Shift Academia Needs Guest lectures inspire. Live projects transform. When professionals bring real experiences into classrooms, students don’t just listen -they build. Qollabb helps universities move from knowledge delivery to experience creation. Because the best lessons end with proof, not applause.

Differentiation in the Classroom At Ganexd Edu Consult, we believe every learner deserves access to the same learning goals, but not through the same path. Differentiation is not about creating multiple lessons. It is about adjusting one lesson to meet different needs. Here is how you make it work: Know your students. Identify their readiness levels, interests, and learning profiles. Adjust content. Offer varied materials on the same topic. Adjust process. Let students work through tasks in different ways. Adjust product. Allow different forms of assessment for the same objective. Use flexible grouping. Mix ability levels to promote peer learning. Track progress. Give feedback that focuses on growth, not gaps. Differentiation makes teaching more intentional and learning more inclusive. At Ganexd Edu Consult, we train teachers to design lessons that meet learners where they are and move them forward. Every learner counts. Every lesson should show it. #GanexdEduConsult #Differentiation #TeachingStrategies #InclusiveEducation #TeacherTraining #EducationMatters #StudentGrowth

Hands-on learning remains one of the toughest challenges in IT education. A recent study published in the Athens Journal of Education found that “CTE teachers ranked replicating classroom or lab environments online as their top challenge.” Without a contextual, supervised lab experience, learners struggle to bridge the gap between theory and real-world application — a gap that’s only widening as technology evolves faster than traditional teaching methods. At Labiteers, we believe every learner deserves access to authentic, scalable, and affordable hands-on IT experiences. Our platform makes it simple for educators and training providers to bring real-world labs to their classrooms — without the complexity or cost of managing infrastructure. 🚀 Because true mastery doesn’t come from watching — it comes from doing. 👉 Want to see how Labiteers makes that possible?

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐚 𝐏𝐡𝐃 𝐢𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡, 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐬, 𝐢𝐭’𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤. Having gone through the #PhD journey myself, I’ve realised that the real challenges often lie not in ideas or data, but in navigating the administrative maze that surrounds the process. Many of us, along with fellow #scholars, have faced delays, unclear communication, repeated submissions, and endless follow-ups for approvals or reports. These may seem like small hurdles, but over time, they slow down progress and drain motivation. Through shared experiences with several scholars across institutions, it’s clear that some systems do work well, such as structured reviews, online tracking portals, and supportive research coordinators have made a real difference. Yet, there’s still scope to refine and strengthen the process further. If universities could take a closer look at the administrative side of research and build on what’s already working, it could make a world of difference. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐢𝐟: ◆There was a clear, step-by-step guide from registration to thesis submission ◆Regular updates and reminders came through a single online portal ◆Research coordinators or admin mentors helped track progress and resolve bottlenecks ◆Scholar feedback was used each year to review and improve the system This isn’t about blaming the #system, it’s about enhancing it. A well-designed #administrative process is not #bureaucracy; it’s a form of academic care. Looking back, I truly believe smoother systems can help future scholars focus more on their research journeys and less on the process that surrounds it. #PhDLife #HigherEducation #ResearchSupport #UniversitySystems #PhDExperience #AcademicProcess #ResearchCulture

When will academia and industry finally start talking to each other? At the moment, they’re not even in the same room. On one side, universities are tied to outdated curriculums, focused on theory, citations, and research papers — often detached from what the real world demands. On the other side, industry is moving at lightning speed, struggling to find people who can build, adapt, and solve problems in real time. The outcome? Graduates who are brilliant on paper but lost in practice. Innovation stalls instead of driving growth. In truth, students should be rotating between labs and boardrooms, learning both the frameworks and the battle scars that prepare them for the real world. Research should not end in journals — it should launch solutions that industries actually need. As this long-overdue conversation between academia and industry continues to be elusive, we saw the gap — and built the bridge. At Tetranet Training Services, we are aligning training with real industry demands — equipping engineers and technicians with the hands-on, up-to-date skills that make them deployment-ready from day one. #SkillsGap #IndustryCollaboration #EducationReform #TelecomTraining #PowerSolutions #TetranetTraining
