Innovations in Education

Now that Dr Kaler has been named the new president of the University of Minnesota, a lot of us may wonder what are his views about education, innovation, technology. Here is an interview with Dr Kaler from last year, when he was Provost and Senior VP of Academic Affairs at Stony Brook University. It's a campus-oriented interview show similar to Tech Talk from OIT, when it ran on PBS.

In the interview, Dr Kaler talks about the future of the "smart classroom", as the next step in student learning. It's an interesting discussion about delivery of content in the classroom, active learning, and taking the lead in education.
