Degreed is a lifelong learning platform that individuals and organizations use to discover learning content, build skills, and certify their expertise. David is also the author of a book called The Expertise Economy. David joins us to discuss the difference between being a ‘good student’ and a ‘good learner’ and how higher education institutions can serve us over a lifetime.
