Sony Partners With 11 Higher Education Institutions

Future Learning Collaborative Includes Public And Private Institutions

Sony Electronics is partnering with 11 higher education institutions to create opportunities through technology solutions and active-learning practices. The initiative is designed to incorporate the role technology plays in teaching and learning. Members of the Future Learning Collaborative like the University of Central Florida are working with Sony designers and researchers to develop and enable classroom technologies to execute more effective teaching methods that will establish an inclusive experience for all students.

“UCF is excited to be a part of the collaborative, which provides an opportunity for universities to guide tech companies towards more effective and usable solutions for classrooms,” says Don Merritt, director of UCF’s Office of Instructional Resources. “UCF faculty have already had one opportunity to give feedback on technology solutions Sony is researching, and we look forward to more classroom-based feedback opportunities as the collaborative moves forward.”

The collaborative includes a mixture of public, private, two-year schools, as well as a four-year institution gathering in work sessions, focus groups and technology demonstrations facilitated by Entangled Studios. Through the initiative Sony is furthering their commitment to provide creative products and solutions that directly support the mission of higher education institutions. Collaborators are working on manufacturing products for classrooms and presentations, developing virtual and augmented-reality activations for admissions, leading the design and system integration of new campus facilities, and other services.

The 11 institutions participating in the collaboration with Sony are:

American University

Arizona State University
