This week at MarketScale, we explored how 5G is being brought to life, the infrastructure that will power it, and why the edge might be the answer.

We also sat down with a global fashion leader, picked an Adobe exec’s brain about the future of education, and more.

It’s the start of a new week, and it’s time to scale up.

5G dominates the news, but do you know the three technologies that intersect to create an innovative and flexible solution expanding the reach and use cases of 5G technology?

This week on The Rugged Edge Survival Guide, Peter Hsu, a Solutions Architect with Premio, provided his take on how the challenge of edge computing right now is not to be the bottleneck within this whole 5G infrastructure.

It’s not every day that you get to pick the brain of the creative leader of a global fashion brand. But today could be your lucky day.

Sandra Choi, Creative Director of J. Choo Limited joined the podcast “Then What” to dive into how she finds sources of inspiration and how she develops personal qualities like creativity, responsibility and kindness.

Would this massive shift to remote working and learning have worked without Adobe digital tools like PDFs and Portfolio?

Adobe VP & GM of the Creative Cloud Product line, Mala Sharma, joined EdTech Today with Kevin Hogan to dive into how the tech giant has jump-started an important, longer-term conversation about what is and isn’t working in our current education system.

Is the U.S. education system behind in mass adopting technology?

Global Education General Manager with the Intel Internet of Things (IoT) Group, We Oania, joined the Voices of eLearning podcast to shine a light on the problems teachers faced before the pandemic and how the company is working with teachers to eliminate repetitive tasks so they can focus on what they want to teach and engaging students.

Is the management side of the hospitality industry ready to take on this massive influx in travelers? On this week’s MarketScale Roundtable, we’ll explore which hospitality management structures or roles changed the most due to COVID

The panel will include:
Glenn Haussman- No Vacancy podcast
Orietta Verdugo – Intel
Brad Beakley – Hospitio

Make sure to follow along for future roundtables. We will also be checking out the future of Careers in Manufacturing & Automation on April 19th.

AI didn't break integrity, it exposed credentialism

AI didn't break integrity, it exposed credentialism

Phil Hill argues AI is exposing a preexisting higher-ed flaw: institutions built around credentials rather than demonstrated learning. In his view, better cheating detection won’t solve it; schools need clearer assessment of what students can actually do, drawing on competency-based education, authentic assessment, and frameworks like the University of Sydney’s two-stream model for AI-allowed and AI-excluded work.

  • 01Credentialism—treating the credential as the goal rather than evidence of learning—creates incentives for shortcuts that existed before AI; students pursue credentials as boxes to check rather than milestones in learning.
  • 02States like Michigan and Texas are redefining postsecondary credentials to include skill certificates alongside degrees, but broader definitions only matter if assessment measures actual learning, not just completion.
  • 03Hill’s three learning-centered models include competency-based education, authentic assessment, and the University of Sydney’s two-stream assessment framework.

CoSN tells school districts to plan for adoption before they buy new tech

CoSN tells school districts to plan for adoption before they buy new tech

CoSN's 2026 Blaschke Report and companion toolkit give K-12 districts a plan for technology change. Its main point is timing. Districts should define the problem, the success measure and staff workload before procurement, then run rollouts through change champions and a council that reviews significant technology changes.

  • 01CoSN’s toolkit pushes planning before procurement: define the problem, affected groups, timeline, and success measures, and account for competing initiatives and implementation fatigue.
  • 02The toolkit urges leaders to account for competing initiatives and implementation fatigue before procurement or a districtwide rollout.
  • 03After launch, districts should track adoption indicators, review feedback and help requests, keep refresher training going, and conduct a post-implementation review.
