Hardback. Etat : Good. ?Leveraged Learning is a tour de force of education - how it evolved, what it delivered and where it is going??Srikumar Rao In a world where education is broken, everyone loses. But big disruption (and transformation) is coming to higher education, and there will be many winners. This is the book that explores a model of education that?s not only robust enough for the modern world, it?s also affordable for students. It?s viable for businesses who long to finally hire the skills that are hard to find.

Gone are the days when education was something that only happened at the start of your career. The name of today's game, both personally and professionally, is to be CONSTANTLY LEARNING: just enough, just in time, and never stopping. But where can knowledge workers, professionals, and lifelong learners go to find the training and education they need to stay current and thrive? It's no secret that universities and colleges are struggling to keep pace and stay current. Often OUT OF TOUCH, exorbitantly overpriced, and slowed by unwieldy infrastructures, bureaucracies and tenure, these institutions are fundamentally designed to deliver a mode of education that still serves an important purpose, but leaves many of our individual and collective needs for learning and growth sorely unmet.

And as an expert with something to teach, you'll learn how to package your expertise for others' benefit, and your profit: What it really takes to develop a lucrative revenue stream from your expertise.The piloting methodology that has worked for thousands of successful online course creators.How to design a curriculum that engages students and leads to mastery.What to test, measure, and iterate as your course grows and evolves.Research-based techniques to help every student perform at the 98th percentile of success.Methodologies for peer-based feedback that cost-effectively support student learning.How to engineer student success with accountability, gamification, and artificial intelligence.

Hardback. Etat : Very Good. Drawing on his thirty years in newspapers, the former editor-in-chief of The Globe and Mail examines the crisis of serious journalism in the digital era, and searches for ways the invaluable tradition can thrive in a radically changed future. John Stackhouse entered the newspaper business in a golden age: 1980s circulations were huge and wealthy companies lined up for the privilege of advertising in every city's best-read pages. Television and radio could never rival newspapers for hard news, analysis and opinion, and the papers' brand of serious journalism was considered a crucial part of life in a democratic country. Then came the Internet. After decades as a Globe journalist, foreign bureau chief and then editor of its Report on Business (not to mention former Scarborough delivery boy), he assumed one of the biggest jobs in Canadian journalism: The Globe and Mail's editor-in-chief. Beginning in 2009, he faced the unthinkable: the possible end of not just Canada's national newspaper, but the steep and steady financial decline of newspapers everywhere. A non-stop torrent of free digital content stole advertisers and devalued advertising space so quickly that newspapers struggled to finance the serious journalism that distinguished them in a world of Buzzfeed, Huffington Post, Yahoo and innumerable bloggers and citizen journalists. Meanwhile, ambitious online media aspired to the credibility of newspapers. The solution was clear, if the path to arriving at it was less so: the new school needed to meet the old school, and the future lay in undiscovered ground between them. Having led the Globe during this period of sudden and radical change, Stackhouse continues to champion the vital role of great reporting and analysis. Filled with stories from his three decades in the business, Mass Disruption tracks decisions good and bad, examines how some of the world's major newspapers--the Guardian, New York Times--are learning to cope, and lays out strategies for the future, of both newspapers and serious journalism, wherever it may live.…

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. At fourteen, Matt Cambridge has executed so many pranks-the latest nearly destroying his school-that his parents are out of discipline options. So his father pulls a few questionable strings to get his son into Camp Friendship: a camp that promises to strengthen the moral compass of today's youth. With a name like Camp Friendship Matt imagines three punishing weeks of daisy chains and Kumbayas. Within minutes of arriving at the camp, however, Matt's nearly killed-twice. It doesn't take long for him to realize there's more to this picture-perfect place than meets the eye. What sort of summer camp has classes in forging passports? Why do they have endless fight training, and weapons drills, and what is with the hidden rooms? Matt wonders if his parents realize they've enrolled him in what seems to be some kind of freakish, elite spy school. What Matt doesn't yet know is that Camp Friendship's ultimate purpose is far more sinister than he could possibly have imagined. With each dot he connects, he begins to understand that in the end he'll be left with two choices: pull the prank of a lifetime to escape this place . . . or die trying.…

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. -- Do you use a mobile phone? -- Do you use credit cards or debit cards? If so, you need to know that a revolution has started that will impact you sooner than you think, and this book will tell you - the consumer - what you need to know now. The reality is that a torrent of advertising and promotional marketing is heading your way to try to convince you to use new services on your SmartPhone at retail stores. Perhaps you have already seen some, or signed up for some. These new services may seem novel, but this revolution is far more significant than that. At stake is the future of the credit card system that moves over $11 Trillion per year from consumers to retailers. Some of the largest companies in the world think this system should change, starting now. Other, equally large companies think everything should stay the same. These two sides are already lining up on a battlefield, with you standing in the middle. And, if you are not careful, the first casualty will be your privacy. Find out what is happening, how it may effect you, and what you can do about it. Read The SmartPhone Wallet - Understanding the Disruption Ahead. PRAISE FOR THE SMARTPHONE WALLET: David Schropfer's consumer-focused look at the emergence of mobile payments is unique and refreshing. At Morris Advisors, we believe the keys to the mobile commerce kingdom are not in the hands of banks or wireless carriers. Consumers and merchants are ultimately the most critical stakeholders. Mr. Schropfer clearly articulates for us the consumer value proposition for mobile payments. I particularly enjoyed his thought provoking description of how wireless carriers could potentially deliver enhanced value for consumers while bypassing some of the incumbent payments industry players. A great read. Andrew B. Morris CEO & Founder, Morris Advisors, Inc. Chair, Alternative Payments Committee, National Retail Federation's Mobile Retailing Initiative The SmartPhone Wallet was a great read. The writing style made it an easy read. The content and perspective gave some very valuable insight into future trends of mobile payments. I can't wait for the next book in this series. -Meg Collin Global Telecom Procurement and Sourcing Expert You're bombarded with information about mobile financial services that either expect you to know it all or treat you like a child. In other words, if you are like most of us then The SmartPhone Wallet is a book for you. The book will take you through the basics of payments, mobile networks, the intersection where they meet, and what this convergence can mean to you. A light yet substantive read, in the Scientific American style, will educate you enough so that you can draw your own conclusions and make your own decisions about the soon-to-be-offered products and services. Learn the history, the present, the trends; what is important and what is not. Know the risks, the costs, the business side and the technical side - enough to benefit you and help others to make the right decisions. -Mirek Kula Co-Founder and CEO, REC-ORDER, LLC Just as credit and debit cards have largely displaced cash and checks, mobile wallets will surely displace physical payment tenders. The adoption of mobile wallets will be driven by consumer convenience and value. In The Smartphone Wallet David Schropfer outlines the background and evolving shifts in technology, financial services, and consumer preferences that converge to provide the mobile wallet, the next generation of electronic payments. This is a good read for anyone in the payments ecosystem. -Anand Goel Optimized Payments Consulting.…

Hardback. Etat : Good. Leaders Leap goes beyond the standard business playbook and teaches you the secrets to creating the bolder, faster, and essential transformation needed to avoid becoming irrelevant in an era of profound and accelerating change. Renowned thought leader on business strategy and innovation Steve Dennis argues that most business transformations are doomed to fail due to two fundamental reasons: their leaders don't aim high enough, delivering mostly incremental changes rather than something truly remarkable, and they move far too slowly to keep up with the pace of disruption. This gap between what is required in a world of seismic shifts in technology and customer requirements and what is typically delivered risks putting many organizations on the road to extinction. Solid strategy, team building, and process planning are essential-and there are plenty of books out there to show you how to improve them all-but these elements are not enough on their own to ensure success. During a 40-year career where he ascended to the senior leadership roles at two Fortune 500 companies, followed by becoming an in-demand strategic advisor and keynote speaker, Dennis observed C-suite executives underestimate the scope, magnitude, and speed of change needed to survive, much less thrive. In Leaders Leap, he makes the case for why a complete metamorphosis of leadership mindset is essential to prevent organizations from becoming irrelevant and explores seven profound "mind leaps" leaders need to make now to transform at the speed of disruption. This book takes leaders on a courageous journey of self-reflection, personal accountability, and growth, exposing the ways in which our ego defects, blind spots, confirmation bias, and defense mechanisms get in the way of the progress we need to make: How the accelerating pace of disruption is making old strategic frameworks useless and why we need to think bigger, act more boldly, and move much faster. How the executive ego prevents us from seeing this new reality and can limit our acceptance of new strategies for change. How fear and pride constrain vision and lead to timid transformation programs that are virtually guaranteed to fail. Why decades of leadership experience can undermine the ability to let go of outdated ideas to think and act more boldly. With illuminating case studies and hard-earned personal wisdom, Dennis helps you create important strategic and mental shifts to find humility, sharpen your customer focus, amplify your brand's wow factor, and truly innovate at the speed of disruption. If you want your organization to make the leap from imperiled to thriving, Leaders Leap provides an inspiring call to action and the catalyzing ideas to guide you to a more remarkable and sustainable future.…
