R-D Collaboratory 2016-02-10

For industry, higher education, government and the economy in general, disruptive change is prompting some important discussions on how traditional paradigms need to adapt.

• A video about how driverless cars are going to change our cities.
• An article about the ways that online learning and digital technology are changing the ways we learn.
• A wonderful animation/lecture on why and how public education is being reformed to fit the needs of the 21st century.

• The OECD released a wealth of data on R&D spending around the globe.
