Huddle Up with Entrepreneurs

There is a need in the current landscape of Entrepreneurship Education for meaningful, real-world collaboration and problem-solving.

"At this point, it’s clear that entrepreneurship education, as it’s currently practiced, does not work," says Andrew Yang in his article critiquing Entrepreneurship Education.

We need to reimagine the current state of Entrepreneurship Education to be "action-based, not knowledge-based."

Yang continues by relating the study of Entrepreneurship to "an athletic endeavor, like serving a tennis ball. Telling you how to do it is useless. You actually get better through a combination of practice, coaching, and repetitions."

Along with the need for hands-on, real-world training, more students than ever are interested in starting their own businesses.

"With student interest in new business creation on the rise, the future for higher education is likely to be far brighter than it seems. Research shows that, in the heart of the pandemic, student interest in entrepreneurship education spiked. That trend proves what many of us already suspected: Crisis indeed fuels entrepreneurship."

This is according to the great article Entrepreneurship Is an Opportunity for Education By Timothy Mescon, Edwin van Rest.

Huddle Up is serving this need for quality, meaningful experiences for Entrepreneurship Education through better individual learning and collaborative decision-making. Learning - especially entrepreneurship learning - is not about remembering information; it's about putting that learning into action, and then learning from the ideas and feedback of others.

We're transforming entrepreneurship education, together.

When did collaboration and learning become separated?

I like to talk to people about what systems, structures, and platforms they use to help their teams collaborate, learn, and problem-solve. It doesn't really matter if I'm talking with trainers, consultants, or educators. I usually hear something like this: "We have our (training) courses inside of ( INSERT NAME OF LMS HERE) . And, then we collaborate every week on ( INSERT ZOOM, SLACK, GOOGLE MEET, ETC) " When did we start thinking / saying this? Was this a prevalent phrase pre-pandemic? I don't remember hearing it then. (Perhaps I wasn't listening.) It's certainly a common paradigm now. More importantly, what impact does its arrival have on the way we structure our team's environments? For starters, it brings up a few odd questions. Aren't we naturally better learners when we collaborate? Aren't we better collaborators when we're learning along the way? Don't we do one better when we incorporate the other? When we think of the syst

The Evolution of Online Learning: Four Stages and What's Next?

(This 2022 post was modified in July 2023.) The pandemic has made everyone far more knowledgeable about online learning platforms than they were 24 months ago. We each know (and feel) the strengths and the limitations of more than a few platforms. We each have a long and growing list of features we want to see in the next evolution of online learning. So, it seems a rather good time to step back and explore the evolution of online learning - to see how far we've come, and where we might be heading. One of the best resources out there is a simple progression chart shared in this intriguing article by Tiago Forte. The Future of Education is Community: The Rise of Cohort-Based Courses The evolution of online learning: What's next? We love big-picture reflections like this. While we are all aware of the current disconnect that still exists between the reality of our online learning platforms and the skills and knowledge we want to transfer to learners, we can all agree that the e
