While at the time, they had only an app and two online courses, they were promising a lot more. In the New Year, they planned to partner with K-12 learners to foster STEAM subjects, they said they\u2019d be opening brick-and-mortar campuses and partnering with existing schools, they\u2019d soon expand their online offerings, and in 2019, they\u2019d open an accelerator replete with mentors, entrepreneurial instruction, and capital to get some of their more business-minded students up and running.<\/p>\n<p>It seemed like a lot, and when an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.azcentral.com\/story\/news\/local\/arizona-education\/2017\/10\/18\/woz-u-arizona-state-regulators-have-questions-key-paperwork-unfinished\/773509001\/\">AZ Central report<\/a> came out describing how they still hadn\u2019t received a license to teach and had a lot of paperwork left to file, it was easy to believe that Woz U was another classic venture that generates a lot of enthusiasm after their launch and then whiffs on the execution.<\/p>\n<p>But that\u2019s not the story company President Chris Coleman has to tell. \u201cI think a lot of confusion stems from this notion that we\u2019re operating both as an institution and also supporting other schools as well,\u201d he said. \u201cThat was a lot of the initial confusion following our launch. People were asking \u2018Is this a service company?\u2019 \u2018Is it a school?\u2019 And really we\u2019re providing both.\u201d According to Coleman, Woz U has received a good deal of support from Arizona legislators. They\u2019re in good standing with the state.<\/p>\n<h1>The EaaS Model<\/h1>\n<p>Coleman says that Woz U has borrowed the model of software as a service (SaaS) and grafted it onto education. What they have to offer is education as a service.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4192\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4192\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4192 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/news.elearninginside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/woz-300x164.jpeg\" alt=\"Woz U Steve Wozniak\" width=\"300\" height=\"164\" srcset=\"https:\/\/news.elearninginside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/woz-300x164.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/news.elearninginside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/woz-768x420.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/news.elearninginside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/woz-1024x560.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/news.elearninginside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/woz.jpeg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4192\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">source: Wikimedia Commons<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cOur goal with EaaS is to take a lot of the lessons learned in the tech industry with SaaS model over the past 15 years and really try to deliver education support and empower education systems,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe EaaS model is intended to allow educators to rely on us as a trusted brand and to provide them with different services, whether it\u2019s content, systems, video-driven instruction, mentoring, career services\u2014whatever gaps that an educational institution might have, we want to provide a solution for them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This has several advantages for an institution. For one, it allows instructors to keep up to date.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn a traditional setting, you\u2019re focused on taking the textbook provided to you that might have been written a decade ago or five years ago. You\u2019re going to work through that text and apply those concepts. In the model that we\u2019re promoting, we want to get to a lot more current and relevant content first and foremost. In 2018, we are still delivering our educational content in such an old fashion way,\u201d Coleman said.<\/p>\n<h1>If They Build It, They Will Come to You<\/h1>\n<p>A big trend in the ongoing MOOC-explosion has been a \u2018if you build it, they will come\u2019 attitude. Woz U takes the opposite approach.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur goal is to be able to reach students where they are at. As an academic institution, our goal is to make things more affordable, more effective, and more available.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The latest in-house development came this month, when they expanded their course offerings to include a cybersecurity specialization. Like Woz U\u2019s other courses, the cybersecurity program is intended to train a learner to become an employable specialist.<\/p>\n<h1>Woz U Looks Beyond Higher Ed &#8230; and Before It<\/h1>\n<p>Woz U has also done considerable work in partnering with other institutions. Besides several colleges, they currently work with over 100 Arizona high school students in the hopes of making the tech industry less of a foreign place.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA lot of high school students are intimidated by (STEAM) subjects and feel unequipped or underprepared to take them on. There\u2019s kind of a polarizing initiative that\u2019s happening. The technology companies that are supporting the tooling that is required\u2014the Googles the Amazons, the Microsofts of the world\u2014they\u2019re investing heavily to make these technologies more accessible. And I don\u2019t think the rest of the world realizes that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNew technology still seems scary to a lot of people. We\u2019re taking the concepts that we teach in higher education, breaking them down, and reverse-engineering them to make them a kind of K-career pathway so that, regardless of what grade you\u2019re in, we can put you in front of a program that will start getting you prepared for these types of careers so you&#8217;re not only intimated by them, but you feel more prepared and excited about it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to Coleman, the next step for Woz U in the very near future will include rolling out more and more collaboration with universities. They plan to announce their first high-profile Woz U Academy partnership at SXSW.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cThe Woz U EaaS model is intended to allow educators to rely on us as a trusted brand and to provide them with different services\u2014whatever gaps that an educational institution might have, we want to provide a solution for them.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":5106,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5069","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-articles","category-industry-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
