Learning 3.0 with Debasis Dutta - Learning 3.0 with Rustica Lamb | Lyssna här

For the past year I have been working towards my Masters in Future Technologies and as part of that, I found myself being drawn to Blockchain Technology and how it could transform learning technology. During this time, I came across the Velocity Network Foundation who have a vision to create a simple solution for individuals to own, manage and share their credentials anywhere in the world.

In this Bonus #Learning3.0 podcast episode, I interview Debasis Dutta, Vice President and General Manager of products at SumTotal Systems in Florida.

He's a hands on leader with a proven track record of over 22 years in managing and delivering innovative enterprise business application products that can be deployed in the cloud or on premise.

He has been inspired by market shifts and technology disruption. So it's no surprise that SumTotal and Debasis continue leading the field of Edtech by being one of the first 14 companies to join the Velocity Network Foundation, which is a simple way for individuals to own manage and share their career credentials. Members of this network are reinventing how career records are shared across the global market.

The Velocity Network Foundation are empowering individuals, businesses and educational institutions through transformational blockchain technology, that turning career achievements into digital credentials verifiable, secured and truly global.

It was an inspiring conversation where transformational blockchain technology has democratized and career records and transcripts.
