On today's episode of the Illumination by Modern Campus podcast, host Amrit Ahluwalia was joined by Anand Agarwal to discuss the need for higher ed to keep pace with today's technology and the importance of providing flexible and affordable pathways for learners to reskill and upskill. 

We've recently released a new publication that synthesizes years of research on AI and its impact on teaching and learning. You can find it at GettingSmart.com/artificial-intelligence/ On this episode of the Getting Smart Podcast, Nate McClennen is joined by Anant Agarwal, MIT Professor, Chief Platform Officer at 2U and Founder and CEO of edX, an online learning platform founded by Harvard and MIT. In 2020, Anant shared the story and vision for EdX from inception to present and its effort to increase access, reduce cost, and implement modularity in the higher education ecosystem. So much has happened in the last three years, that we thought it would be great to hear from Anant again (after his first time on the show)  to get his sense of AI and how it will both play a role in both teaching in higher education as well as a topic for learning in higher education.

MOOCs are getting bad press - that student engagement and completion rates are very low. But at edX.or, 60% of all and paid-for work gets completed, it has 500 corporate customers up- and re-skilling their workforces, and its new modular ‘Micromasters’ credential, which offers 25-50% of a traditional Masters has been accepted as an onramp by over 90 global Universities as an on-ramp to their traditional Master’s programs. So maybe the idea of MOOCs isn’t that screwed after all? To find out, we engaged with the Founder and CEO at edX Professor Anant Agarwal, an Engineer, Computer Scientist and a real giant in online pedagogy to get his perspective. Our conversation ranges from how hard it is to change something that hasn’t really changed in hundreds of years - Education, to a reminder of what the ‘M’ and ‘O’ stand for - Massive, and Open, and how central those words are to what edX does, as well as the deep interest in the edX user base for critical thinking, communications and story-telling education as much as business or tech. We also hear about his early years studying Electrical Engineering at school at Madras, India, followed by his move to study Computer Science in the US, as well as: the original MOOC idea, and how much it’s changed and 9-10 years a - improvements not everyone’s caught up with, ita portrait of the average edX user and their motivations, extreme geographical spread and what they want from their experience; why technology is a double-edged sword; edX For Business - a new set of partnerships and opportunities; why it’s time to stop saying ‘soft,’ and start saying ‘powerful skills’ instead; the challenges of creating an appropriate self-directed Learning culture for the enterprise; the concept of Learning Science and the possibility of neuroscience as a way to tune up our understanding of how we learn; and finally, how his team is looking at how are brains our wired like active learning, and deriving highly suggestive analytics and data out of those EEGs.

The economy's supposed to be really good, if you look at the official numbers. According to the U.S. labor department the unemployment rate was under 4 percent in July, which is a level that a lot of people used to consider "full employment." Everybody who wants a job has one.   Except … not really.  The system isn't working the way it's supposed to for working people. Here's what I mean. Typically in the past, when so many people have jobs, pay goes up. I mean, how else are you going to get people to work for you if everybody has a job. You've got to pay them more.   But that's not happening – at least not anywhere near at the level it should be. The Labor Department reported last month that if you look at median weekly earnings, and you factor in inflation, the typical worker is just treading water.   And what about the future? Having a job and making a living are not the same thing. The cost of a four-year degree rose about 25 percent in the last decade according to the College Board, to $34,740 a year. Meanwhile student loan debt Is exploding.   So: wages flat. Traditional schooling expensive. We haven’t even talked about the cost of raising a family if that’s your thing. What are you going to do if you’re not already in the job you want to be doing for the rest of your life?  Today we’re going to find the smart way to navigate all this. Getting the skills for a better job or higher pay without crushing your bank account and going deep in debt.   Welcome to Fortt Knox, rich ideas and powerful people. I am Jon Fortt at the Nasdaq Marketsite in New York’s Times Square.   Joining me on the show today to help you make your plan: Here with me at the Nasdaq, Laura Pappano is an education reporter who lives and breathes this stuff, writing in the New York Times, the Hechinger Report and more.   Joining us from Denver, Rachel Carlson cofounder and CEO of Guild Education, a company that helps employers offer education as a benefit to employees, kind of like healthcare – clients include WalMart, Lowe’s, Taco Bell and Chipotle.   And finally, joining us from Cambridge Massachusetts, Anant Agarwal is an MIT professor and CEO of EDX, a free-to-learn platform.

At SXSWedu: Interview with Anant Agarwal, CEO of edX by EdTech Times

2013년은 MOOCs (다중 개방 온라인 강의) 광고의 해였습니다. 굉장히 큰 숫자와 매우 큰 희망이 일부 실망스러운 첫 결과에 뒤따랐습니다. 그러나 edX의 교장인 Anant Agarwal은 고등 교육을 널리 공유하고 보급(그러나 아마도 대체되지 않는)하기 위한 방법에서 MOOCs의 사례를 여전히 중요하게끔 만들었습니다. Agarwal은 교사들이 21세기 학생들을 위한 이상적인 교육 경험을 만들기 위한 그의 복합 교육에 대한 비전을 나누고자 합니다.

2013 was a year of hype for MOOCs (massive open online courses). Great big numbers and great big hopes were followed by some disappointing first results. But the head of edX, Anant Agarwal, makes the case that MOOCs still matter -- as a way to share high-level learning widely and supplement (but perhaps not replace) traditional classrooms. Agarwal shares his vision of blended learning, where teachers create the ideal learning experience for 21st century students.

El 2013 fue el año de difusión de los MOOC (cursos por Internet masivos y abiertos). Los grandes números y las grandes esperanzas llegaron tras unos primeros resultados poco alentadores. Pero el director de edX, Anant Agarwal, sostiene que los MOOC todavía son importantes como un medio para compartir a nivel mundial educación de alta calidad y de complementar (aunque quizá no reemplazar) el salón tradicional. Agarwal nos habla del aprendizaje mixto, donde los docentes crean una experiencia de aprendizaje ideal para los estudiantes del siglo XXI.

2013 waren MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses, dt. massive offene Online-Kurse) groß in Mode. Großen Zahlen und großen Hoffnungen folgten einige enttäuschende erste Ergebnisse. Der Leiter von edX, Anant Agarwal, betont nichtsdestotrotz, dass MOOCs immer noch von Bedeutung sind -- als ein Mittel, hochrangige Lernerfahrungen großflächig zu teilen und das traditionelle Klassenzimmer zu ergänzen (wenn auch nicht zu ersetzen). Agarwal teilt mit uns seine Vision des Blended Learning, bei der Lehrer die optimale Lernerfahrung für Lerner des 21. Jahrhunderts entwickeln.

2013 a été une grande année pour les MOOC (cours en ligne ouverts et massifs). De grands chiffres et de grands espoirs ont finalement laissé place à des premiers résultats décevants. Mais à la tête de edX, Anant Agarwal nous prouve que les MOOC ont encore de l'importance - pour partager à grande échelle l'apprentissage haut-niveau et compléter (mais peut-être pas remplacer) les cours magistraux traditionnels. Agarwal partage sa vision de l'apprentissage combiné, où les enseignants créent l'expérience d'apprentissage idéale pour les étudiants du 21ème siècle.

2013 foi um ano estimulante para os MOOCs (Cursos Abertos Online em Massa). Grandes números e grandes esperanças, seguidos por primeiros resultados decepcionantes. Mas o diretor do edX, Anant Agarwal, insiste que os MOOCs ainda são importantes como um caminho para compartilhar aprendizado de alto padrão de uma forma abrangente e complementar (mas talvez não substituir) a sala de aula tradicional. Agarwal compartilha sua visão de aprendizado misto, em que os professores criam a experiência de aprendizado ideal para os alunos do século XXI.
