From the #mediaX2015 Conference “Writing the Code for Personal Relevance”; John Mitchell, Vice Provost for Teaching and Learning, Mary and Gordon Crary Family Professor, School of Engineering, Professor of Computer Science and (by courtesy) Electrical Engineering at Stanford University, discusses how over the last three years, Stanford has experimented widely with online learning activities, at scale and in campus classes. Through the Lytics Lab and other research activities, we have also explored the way that data collection, particularly at scale, can inform and improve the learning experience. This short overview looks at some examples, observes selected trends, and ponders a few questions about the future.
