August 31, 2016
The book *La innovación pendiente: reflexiones (y provocaciones) sobre educación, tecnología y conocimiento* by Dr. Cristóbal Cobo, a doctoral thesis advisor in the Department of Education, was published in August 2016 by Penguin Random House Grupo Editorial and Editorial Sudamericana.

The book proposes "rethinking education from a new perspective that argues that true innovation lies in exploring new ways of valuing and recognizing knowledge, both inside and outside the classroom."

“The author’s contribution lies in analyzing the challenges posed by technology in education and the redefinition of the concepts of ‘knowledge’ and ‘learning’ in a society undergoing profound transformation.”

Dr. Cobo is a research associate at the Oxford Internet Institute, University of Oxford, England, and director of the Fundación Ceibal Study Center.
