I have spent the last decade in the development of innovation labs and as an architect of the innovation based classroom of the future. This is a cutting-edge, enterprise grade, global collaboration/teaching platform, and is present on the campuses of some of the most prestigious universities in America. I acted in the role of the classroom of the future industry expert on behalf of the U.S. federal government, guiding FEMA & DHS on the development of their training growth vision, and supplying the basis for the language used in the publicly issued RFI for this initiative. In addition to its current success as the premier evolution of hybrid and remote education, I see this platform becoming the next critical step in the application of climate change mitigation. With this platform, colleges of science and business, along with private sector enterprises can ramp up grand collaboration on a global scale to help solve the biggest challenges of our age. It is however, not relegated to this sector and fits powerfully in the spectrum of life sciences and command/control environments. My role is to guide development of the workflow concepts, recommend the overarching hardware structure and core software platforms, contribute best practice guidance for space design, connect security interests to deployment, oversee AV integration and system implementation, fine tune commissioning, perform acceptance testing, and stand up the on-campus programs - including training of end users, in-house tech staff, instructional design, and the collaboration/innovation structures.
