Learning in the New Online Education World

YourUpdateTV

As camps and schools across the country have closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic – and many still uncertain about schools reopening in the fall – parents have turned to online resources to keep their kids engaged and interested in the topics and subjects they care about. Recently, Amir Nathoo, CEO of Outschool teamed with YourUpdateTV to discuss online education and the importance of keeping kids engaged in subjects they care about. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/e-NrnePKx8w Outschool is an online learning platform with live, interactive classes for kids aged 3-18. Kids learn best when through interaction, and that means adults and other kids. What parents saw in the spring with distance learning was often a stack of lifeless worksheets or following a self-paced digital curriculum which was boring, stale and oftentimes ineffective. Parents had to resort to video games in off hours as “good screen” time alternatives were few and far between. Outschool classes help learners overcome learning challenges as a social activity by keeping kids engaged in topics they care about with instructors who are passionate about what they are teaching. The platform has a unique selection of over 50,000 live class offerings, like learning to code, cupcake decorating, cooking classes, drawing instruction, teaching architecture through Minecraft , along with traditional classes like algebra and world history. A recent Outschool survey found that nearly ⅔ (61%) of parents had reservations about sending their children back to school in the fall for in-person classes and 40% were now more open to homeschooling their children as a result of their experiences during the Covid-19 crisis. Many schools across the country are now preparing for distance learning once again or hybrid model of some in-person and some homeschooling. This summer, Outschool announced a full range of online summer camps for kids from camps across the country that have been forced to go virtual due to Covid-19. For the fall of 2020 they will be launching a full slate of enrichment offerings and supplemental education courses to assist with distance learning. With over 5,000 teachers on the platform and hundreds of thousands of learners, Outschool is helping to foster a love of learning and bridge the gap where students may be falling behind during this crisis.

He led the development of Square Payroll and also served as CEO and co-founder of Trigger.io. He holds an MEng in Electrical and Information Sciences from The University of Cambridge.

Demystifying Forecasting: How Law Firms Achieve Operational Agility Through Better Business Planning

Intapp

In a recent webinar, Intapp welcomed Toby Brown , Chief Practice Management Officer at Perkins Coie, for a lively chat with, and Thad Jampol, Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer, and Pam Smith, Senior Vice President of Strategic Marketing, discussing how business-value forecasting transforms operational agility and organizational accountability. The conversation started with a discussion of how law firms typically haven’t relied on forecasting as a core business-planning tool. Forecasting is notoriously hard to get right, and nobody wants to be blamed for getting it wrong. Many firm leaders conflate budgeting and forecasting, bypassing the deep dive that’s required to build sound, well-reasoned predictions for precisely when, where, and how revenue will flow into the firm. With all of the ambiguities swirling around pandemic-era business planning, firm leadership teams are looking to bolster certainty on all fronts. As a result, one silver lining of COVID-19 may be at least a temporary pause on forecasting resistance. The window is wide-open for a bold embrace of forecasting innovation — powered by industry-specific technology — as a key driver of operational agility and competitive advantage as firms move through a turbulent business cycle. Defining Business-Value Forecasting To understand the concept of business-value forecasting, start by distinguishing its two key components: forecasting data and firm pipeline. Whereas forecasting data tells you — at a macro level — what the anticipated revenue stream will look like based on historical performance, the pipeline shows you where your firm sits in the here and now. “If you’re only looking at forecasting data that’s based on historical performance, you’re essentially looking backwards,” said Brown. “The pipeline should not only drive the forecast, but also capture the specific sources of projected revenue, the timeline for realization, and the parties responsible for delivering the outcomes.” Implementing Better Forecasting Protocols Firms report three key challenges with respect to forecasting: unpredictability, internal resistance, and the difficulty of producing a forecast with confidence. Across industries, forecasting creates a pillar of predictability — a backdrop against which your firm can build strategies for resourcing projects and measuring success. Distorted firm forecasts artificially create higher working capital requirements, and overly-buffered and disjointed budgets residing across practice groups hinder the strategic adjustments needed to capitalize on unexpected opportunities. Although there will always be some unknowns, firms can start with reasonable assumptions. “Some matters are easy to predict. For instance, it’s safe to assume that Walmart will have a certain number of slip-and-fall cases, which you can bake into your forecasting assumptions,” said Brown. “Some clients might have an M&A growth strategy, which means that you can estimate the number of patents and the associated revenue per patent to get to a reasonable proxy. The point here is to focus on what you can confidently predict to build the foundation for your forecasting.” Overcoming Silos and Hedging Many law firms struggle with silos with respect to both data and practice groups; this presents a significant roadblock to firmwide transparency with respect to forecasting. Brown and his team address this issue by building two forecasts — based on key clients and top practice groups — because these specific views of business-value forecasting have proven to be enlightening, valuable, and actionable for firm leadership teams. “Lawyers live and die by their reputations. When they’re on the hook to hit a number, their reputation is at stake, and — because no lawyer is satisfied with a passing grade — they feel compelled to go above and beyond,” said Brown. “Exceeding the forecast is obviously a good thing, but not expected; eyebrows shoot up when a lawyer goes over the top multiple quarters in a row, because it indicates hedging. And, when lawyers hedge to cover themselves, we never have a true picture of our projected revenue stream, which impedes business planning.” Putting the Pieces in Place for Business-Value Forecasting It all starts with recognizing that you need a forecast that budgets on the go-forward at the partner and practice area level; and — at a minimum — the forecast should be revisited quarterly, but ideally in real time and on demand. Implementing technology that captures and analyzes pricing data and firm experience — like Intapp Pricing and Intapp Experience — can significantly improve the efficacy of your forecasting approach and ongoing process. The solution you choose should provide easy and centralized access to data firmwide, and require minimal manual processes to encourage adoption. Incorporating AI and machine learning means that your solution gets smarter from experience, and adjusts to new inputs to perform human-like tasks better. “We view Intapp as a valued contributor — not just a service provider — in our forecasting,” said Brown. “Because the Intapp folks live and breathe forecasting for law firms, they are able to provide an unparalleled level of expertise and technology to help firms get to where they need to be to realize the benefits of business value forecasting.” To learn more about implementing business-value forecasting at your firm, register to watch the webinar replay on demand .

Convey Services

Cloud Conventions , a full-featured virtual tradeshow and event technology solution today expanded its capabilities to offer connections to two new external registration technologies, providing additional options to register attendees for virtual conferences or association events. The first in a series of integrations are with Experient, a division of Maritz Global Services and RegFox, a California-based registration company. Cloud Conventions is a virtual event SaaS platform from Convey Services . “Many show producers or event managers have a history of using platforms like Experient to manage complex registrations, including taking payment, managing travel and lodging, and selecting program extras,” said Carolyn Bradfield , founder of Convey Services. “These proven registration platforms will augment Cloud Conventions’ internal registration engine, giving event operators the flexibility of using a solution they are familiar with and may already have a contract.” Cloud Conventions connects to external registration systems through an application program interface (API) to collect and transmit data. Once Cloud Conventions receives a registration, the system creates a unique attendee record and assigns a classification based on the purchased event package. Attendees receive a welcome email from Cloud Conventions with access credentials so they can login immediately or a welcome email can be scheduled for a later date. Event organizers have the option of approving all applications any action is taken. “Some events have complex payment structures or need to validate an attendee against a membership record,” added Bradfield. “Many organizations have relationships with a registration company that offers greater customization. All a show needs to do is identify the external platform to Convey and we’ll connect the two systems.” Cloud Conventions can provide a personalized content experience with customized dashboards, segmented email communication or restricted access to some or all exhibit booths or content based on attendee type.
