This session explores how connectivist MOOCs aimed to disrupt education but were rejected due to their unfamiliarity. Overcoming this “curse of the familiar” involves starting with familiar tech and building strong educator communities.

This session discusses the question of why, when there's all this amazing learning that happens in people's informal learning experiences, is it so hard to bring those practices into school environments? Participants discuss the tension between centralized, standardized educational platforms and more decentralized, student-owned learning environments.

This interview focuses on how archives can be used as evidence documenting colonial crimes. The video discusses where some archives can be found, what they contain, and how one should approach them as historical objects.

Students in MIT’s course 5.310 Laboratory Chemistry have a state-of-the art lab to work in, with energy-saving hibernating fume hoods and a new spectrometer that achieves mind-blowingly precise measurements—not parts per million or parts per billion, but parts per trillion! And the students do spend much of their time in that new lab. But Dr. John Dolhun, director of the Undergraduate Chemistry Teaching Labs at MIT, who taught 5.310 for many years, and Dr. Sarah Hewett, who currently teaches it, make sure that the course doesn’t take place entirely behind closed doors. One of the lab activities involves collecting water samples from the Charles River and analyzing them for dissolved oxygen and contaminants such as phosphates. This activity, named the “Ellen Swallow Richards Lab” after an environmental chemist who was also the first female student at MIT, ensures that the coursework is grounded in real-world concerns. In this episode, Dr. Dolhun and Dr. Hewett discuss that lab and other topics, such as how to teach perseverance, why their course emphasizes ways of communicating science to an audience of nonscientists, and the importance of sharing educational resources.
