Founder Derek Luebbe: A guest on the EduTogether podcast

 In 2024, Huddle Up Founder and CEO Derek Luebbe sat down with Aryeh Eisenberg,  the host of the EduTogether podcast.

We've outlined a few of the key topics covered below - and some of Derek's favorite quotes -  if you wish to jump to a section of the podcast that most interests you.

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.
