The cryptographic ledger technology blockchain is experiencing a quick escalation that is disrupting several industries and businesses around the world.

n this episode of You’ve Got Five Options, the hostesses Anna, Marta and their guest Estefanía Zárate Angarita dig into the fascinating topic of journalism. From the grounding principles, through the reason why journalism became so de-constructive, all the way to the Constructive News model and Innovation Journalism trends.

I could not think of a better guest to launch this Show! Kent Valentin Fallesen visited Aarhus last week and we took advantage of his trip from Copenhagen to Jutland to have a chat about uQualio.
Fallesen is the CEO of a micro-learning web-based platform that is disrupting the professional training industry.
Our discussion touched upon matters such as user experience and user-centred business approach, the origins and the journey of the company, the industries that are currently using his platform and the relevance of video and gamification in this e-learning trend called micro-learning.
