- President Sanjay Sarma heads to Malaysia. Grasp, Thorndike, Dewey, MIT, and a 2.007 Memento - Ep 8
We intercepted Sanjay Sarma before he took off for Logan Airport and meet in building 35 to discuss his book, Grasp - the Science Transforming How We Learn, education, and MIT.
Professor Sarma recently stepped down as MIT Vice President of Open Learning where he led MIT initiatives, such as MITx, edX, OpenCourseware, the Integrated Learning Initiative, and many others. He is now heading to Malaysia, to take the tiller as President and CEO of the Asia School of Business.
