EdUp EdTech, hosted by Holly Owens and Nadia Johnson
03/18/21 • 43 min
Episode Overview
On the 6th episode of EdUp EdTech, we speak with Elliot Grossbard, Strategic Advisor for ElevateU. On this episode, we talk about Elliot's journey into the EdTech space, learning about Instructional Design, and how ElevateU is helping create dynamic and affordable learning resources for students. Through the use of Artificial Intelligence (A.I.), ElevateU is changing the landscape of textbook options by helping adapt to new ways of learning.

More about Elliot
The most important part of the business is and always will be "the relationship." I was lucky to have learned this lesson at an early age from my longest-living mentor, Harvey Mackay. It was Harvey also that taught me that having a strong network is essential to succeed in business and in life.
I continue to learn from my team of mentors and colleagues with a growth mindset. True champions never stop looking for ways to become better, neither do great salespeople.
Creating relationships and strategic partnerships have grown into friendships that have paid dividends for me and others and will continue to. Identifying who is the with people you should be spending time connecting with is one of the most difficult parts of networking and growing a business. Helping companies go from where they are now to where they want to be, is a passion of mine, and with the experience I've had myself and through observing others, I have been helping companies and people grow.

3: Digging into Yellowdig with Shaunak Roy, Founder & CEO
EdUp EdTech, hosted by Holly Owens and Nadia Johnson
02/25/21 • 34 min
Episode Overview
In episode 3 of EdUp EdTech, I had the pleasure of speaking with Shaunak Roy, Founder, and CEO of Yellowdig. We had a wonderful conversation about his journey into the ed-tech space and how Yellowdig is changing the way learners from all parts of the globe connect and build lifelong communities. Be sure to check out all the places where you can connect with him and find out more about Yellowdig below.
What is Yellowdig?
Yellowdig is a social learning platform designed for higher education that integrates with any LMS. Many instructors use it instead of LMS discussion forums. The best part is that it’s auto-graded and auto-populates grades to your gradebook in any LMS. Students achieve points through word count and participating with common social media behavior, like “liking” or “loving” a post or posting a comment on another person’s Pin. Yellowdig promotes community engagement through sharing information and teaching others. Studies have shown that that students can retain up to 90% of what they learn by teaching each other, far higher than when students are mainly in a passive learning environment.

- Check out some fabulous case studies by going to https://www.yellowdig.co/case-studies
- A 200-word introduction to Yellowdig
More about Shaunak Roy
In 2014, Yellowdig's CEO and founder, Shaunak Roy, knew he wanted to start a company that mattered. As Facebook and other social media technologies took over the social connectivity scene, he saw an opportunity to leverage this idea of social sharing through technology, but specifically in the area of sharing academic ideas and knowledge. As Shaunak looked back on his own academic days (he went to undergrad at IIT Bombay, and postgrad at MIT), he realized that he learned as much from his peers as he did from his brilliant professors. Some of the bonds he created with his peers lasted well beyond those formative years and morphed into lifelong friendships.

2: The 4 Cs of QuadC with Jeff Giorgi, Head of Higher Education Partnerships
EdUp EdTech, hosted by Holly Owens and Nadia Johnson
02/18/21 • 51 min
Episode Overview
In episode 2 of EdUp EdTech, I had the pleasure of speaking with Jeff Giorgi from QuadC about his role as the Head of Higher Ed Partnerships. In this episode, Jeff and I dive into the 4 C’s of QuadC: Connect, Communicate, Collaborate, and Consolidate and how their services help institutions streamline student services.
What is Quad C?
TutorOcean's higher ed solution morphed into QuadC after several of their higher ed partnerships grew and evolved with them by adding roles beyond tutors to their platform. They needed a brand name to reflect their capability in helping higher ed schools connect their students with a wide variety of student services and not strictly just tutoring. Hence why QuadC was born -- helping schools: Connect, Communicate, Collaborate, and Consolidate. They help higher ed schools connect their students with their services -- both virtually and Face 2 Face. At the same time, they streamline several internal operations of those services.
More about Jeff
Prior to joining TutorOcean, Jeff was freelancing digital marketing services where he helped small and medium-sized businesses generate sales meetings through LinkedIn. One of his clients was Will Li, CEO & Co-Founder of TutorOcean. After working with Will and his team for some months, their working relationship organically evolved and Jeff decided to join Will and the team full time to help revolutionize the education industry.
