Now What?

You’ve likely seen Harvard Business Publishing’s recent reminder about not sharing HBP materials with third parties such as Breakout Learning. We respect those terms — fully. Breakout neither requests nor needs publisher PDFs to power discussions, and we run regular audits to ensure we don’t hold copyrighted materials.
The bigger issue isn’t PDFs; it’s engagement. Today’s students will skim an AI summary before they’ll read 30 pages — but they will lean in when every voice matters in a small-group discussion. That’s the gap we’re working to close: moving from “content exposure” to conversational fluency.
Join us on October 15 at 11am CT for a candid conversation between educational publishing experts and Ramit Varma, co-Founder and CEO of Breakout Learning, about AI's role in complementing research-backed materials.

We’re sharing it for transparency so you can read the exact language alongside our response and join the broader conversation about AI, engagement, and IP.What We'll Explore
- Generational differences: are today’s students truly different, or does every generation feel “different?”
- Traditional materials: how can textbooks and case studies be reimaged to better serve students and professors?
- AI and technology: how should educators adapt to meet evolving student needs?
- Authentic engagement: what approaches foster deeper student engagement?
- Copyright & course materials: how can faculty balance innovation with respect for intellectual property?
