Bio
Dr. Jose G. Lepervanche currently works as Professor of Supervision and Management at Florida State College at Jacksonville. He is TEDxFSCJ and TEDxSaguntoStudio Founder Organizer. He also teaches IS&T and eBusiness courses online in graduate and undergraduate programs. His courses are: Management Theory and Practice, Strategic Management, Management of Information Systems, and the Capstone Project in Supervision and Management. He uses TED, TED-Ed, and TEDx Talks to enhance management instruction beyond the classroom as part of his Global Learning Adventures. He has created more then 50 TED Ed Lessons to enhance Business Management higher education courses. He created the TECHKnowledge Workshops to teach professors about creating TED Ed Lessons. TED videos have been embedded into discussions, announcements, and newsletters to generate online discussions, small group discussions, and post-video assignments.
Thanks to these activities and more, the first TEDxFSCJ event was licensed for Fall 2014. He has presented his TED-Ed Learning Experience in the 25th International Conference on College Teaching and Learning, FSCJ Fall Convocation and UNAD Florida International Conference: Technology, Education, Business in Colombia in November 2014. He attended TEDxBeaconStreet as one of 2014 and 2015 Adventure Catalysts. He has attended TED Active 2015, TEDxJacksonville, TEDxUF, TEDxOcala, TEDxPragueSalon, TEDxCibeles, and TEDxTarragona as part of the global TEDxCommunity.
He created TEDxFSCJ Learning Adventures to combine TED, TEDx and TED Ed with his GLOBE Educational Model and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). TED Ed Lessons and the SDGs have been incorporated to international business management and information systems courses as part of assignments, discussions, and team projects. End of semester Learning Adventures allow students and small audiences to have roundtables and conversations about topics such as global leadership, community engagement, social responsibility and local business and technology actions to contribute with SDGs' progress.
I'm passionate about
Scouting. Lifelong Scout leader in Venezuela and BSA. VP of Program in North Florida Council. Blog www.Scoutingadventures.org, FB and Twitter @ScoutmasterJose. Social media learning and leadership.
Outdoors Learning Adventures. OutdoorsUniversity.com is a global initiative to find outdoors learning opportunities to find lessons outside the classroom. Global collaborators provide photos and comments that are used in college courses. The university is outdoors. It also combine outdoors learning with outdoors Scouting activities and local contributions to Sustainable Development Goals and other global learning initiatives.
An idea worth spreading
CyberChronicles - Learning Online Laboratory ( + Offline & Outdoors too...) is using Device Oriented Learning and combining technology and knowledge (TECHknowledge) with TED Ed lessons to expand online and offline discussions to different management courses. Students from one course use TED Ed discussion to exchange comments with students from other courses expanding the learning experience as a TED Ed Learning Adventure. All these ideas are part of his Global Learning Adventures initiative. Visit GlobalLearningNews.com

The TED story
I am the founder TEDxFSCJ Organizer with a license from TED and I attended a TEDx workshop for organizers in Gainesville and Jacksonville. I attended 2012 TEDxRiversideAvondale and 2013 and 2014 TEDxJacksonville and I have been using TED and TEDx videos in my courses. As organizer of TEDxFSCJ we created a TEDxFSCJ Club to have a student organizing team. I have presented my TED, TEDx and TED Ed Learning Adventures to enhance classroom experience in the 2014 International Conference on College Teaching and Learning, 2014 FSCJ Faculty Convocation and International Conference on Technology, Education, and Business in Colombia in Nov 2014.. After our first TEDxFSCJ event I am creating TED Ed lessons based on our event and I will share these learning ideas as TEDxBeaconStreet Adventure Catalyst (2014 & 2015) I was accepted to attend next TED active. I was interviewed by Boston Consulting Group about trends and my experience as TEDx Organizer. On 2015 we renewed the license for TEDxFSCJ. I attended 2015 TED Active, 2015 TEDxCibeles in Madrid, and TEDxOcala, I did a TEDxFSCJ Salon about "Technology & Society" organized by MIS students and the model is being shown to other professors to encourage them how to do it. New TED Ed Lessons has been created using new TEDxFSCJ Talks. We have organized TEDxFSCJ conferences, TEDxFSCJSalon, TEDxFSCJLive, TEDxFCJWomen, and TEDxFSCJ Learning Adventures.
