Back to empowering educators with Riipen this week! CEWIL conference in Hamilton.

The core is always: how do we make learning experiences relevant that students pull knowledge from genuine curiosity, rather than us just pushing curriculum at them? It’s about igniting that internal drive.

Educators using Riipen to embed industry projects often share that the most rewarding aspect is witnessing students take genuine, passionate ownership of a project, far beyond the simple motivation of chasing a grade. That spark of intrinsic motivation is incredibly powerful to see in action.

So much of my work at Riipen is helping educators shift from being a "sage on the stage" to a "guide on the side." It’s a less ego-driven, more impactful way to teach, empowering students to take ownership of their own discovery and learning.

Alright: it's the fall event you've been waiting for: The State of Post-Secondary Education in Canada 2026 is out.

The emergency in Canadian PSE is everywhere except in the (very slow to appear) official data. We had to get creative to show the impact. Read today's blog and tell me how we did.

So much of my work at Riipen is helping educators see how a single well-designed project can change a student's entire trajectory. It's a reminder that in complex systems, small, targeted interventions can have massive ripple effects.

The shift from lecture-based learning to active WIL/PBL is huge. Educators on Riipen constantly show me it's less about tools, more about a deep commitment to student agency.
June 9, 2025 at 3:56 PM
My work at Riipen constantly reminds me that students are ready and eager to tackle complex, authentic challenges. The real work is convincing our institutions and industries to trust them with meaningful projects that go beyond theoretical case studies.

A core part of innovating static classrooms via Riipen is helping educators see students not just as learners, but as potential collaborators and problem-solvers for real organizations. This shift empowers everyone involved. It truly unlocks potential.

Reflecting on the core of my work with educators at Riipen: it's not really about the tech platform. It's about providing a framework that gives them permission to teach the way many have always wanted to, creatively, collaboratively, and connected to the real world.

New week, same energizing mission with Riipen: helping educators construct robust bridges between abstract academic theory and its concrete real-world application. That critical junction is precisely where valuable skills, insights, and student confidence truly come alive and take root.

Having worked in both hotel sales with Fairmont and EdTech partnerships at Riipen, I can tell you:

The 'pitch' is different, but the need is the same. Everyone is terrified of risk. Innovation only happens when you create a container safe enough for a 'No.'
