Online learning - love it or hate it, we all have our own interpretations of what it is, and perhaps what it could be. 

Today's guest Eddie Blass shares insights and ideas from creating The Inventorium, an alternative online education experience targeting youth who are disengaged from the "Traditional" schooling system. We talk about the impact of centering the education experience around the teacher-student relationship, and what needs to change to create a schooling system that addresses the needs of our innovation and ideas age.

We also chat about what makes an engaging online education experience and how it has the potential to be more engaging than face-to-face (including at University)!
