Listen Later

Today I speak with Melissa Loble. Melissa is the Chief Customer Experience Officer at Instructure, the makers of Canvas. We discuss how Melissa landed up working in Higher Education and what is currently occupying her mind as the sector level sets to a new normal.

She has enjoyed an impressive career, starting as an educator, in the late 90's Melissa assumed the role as the Director of Educational Technology at New York University - Stern, then held a couple of roles at Pepperdine University where she finished her tenure as an Adjunct Professor in Educational Technology. She then went on to hold senior roles with Blackboard and UC Irvine before heading over to Instructure.

Melissa holds a BA in Political Science & History from UCLA, an MA in Educational Policy from Columbia University and an MBA from Columbia Business School.

Keeping the conversation pointed and on topic, Michelle and I chatted about:

  • Engagement and interaction in online learning
  • A Learning Management System (LMS) versus a Learning Experience Platform (LXP)
  • The sharing economy
  • The learning ecosystem
  • What is a networked learning experience
  • Universal UI
  • The challenge with misaligned incentives
  • Good pedagogy for engagement and outcomes
  • Data mining, interpretation and application, as well as
  • The importance of collaboration
  • It's always fun spending time with Melissa and I hope that you'll enjoy her energy as much as I do. With that, I bring you, Melissa Loble.
