New episodes streaming August 19

08/10/2021 – Needham, MA

PlatformQ Education, the trusted provider of effective student engagement software and stategies, today announced plans for the relaunch of Higher Ed Live. New episodes will begin streaming on August 19, 2021 with 9 episodes planned for this new season.

For ten years, Higher Ed Live served as a showcase for the brightest minds in higher education. Last year, PlatformQ Education acquired Higher Ed Live from mStoner with plans to revitalize the network with new speakers and a new approach to content.

“To better support the higher education community that relies on Higher Ed Live for thoughtful insights and impactful conversations, we are modeling the new platform and content plan after popular streaming platforms like Disney+ and HBO Max” said Gil Rogers, Executive Vice President at PlatformQ Education. Rogers continued, “Lessons learned from these popular content platforms can and should inform how we think about audience engagement and by extension how enrollment and gift officers should think about engaging with their audiences as well.”
