16th Annual
New Frontiers in Computing (NFIC) 2014:

Presented by:


Santa Clara Valley Chapter	Silicon Valley Chapter	Stanford University IEEE

The digital revolution has impacted nearly every aspect of human endeavor in the past several decades however education technology has only recently seen the emergence of new ideas to challenge established norms in education. The 16th Annual NFIC event examines several important questions on the shape of this emerging landscape of online education. What will the classroom of 2030 look like? How will the universities reshape themselves and evolve, or will entirely new businesses models emerge and play a leading role? What new technologies will be needed to educate and prepare the workforce of the future? The event will provide a forum for academicians, content providers and technologists to network, share knowledge and engage in dialogue around these questions.

NFIC features a keynote from Coursera co-founder Andrew Ng and will bring together renown educational and technology experts in 2 interactive panels to cover the key aspects and opportunities now emerging for professionals in the engineering community. For full conference information please see the conference webpage.
