Renowned educator, author, and Internet of Things pioneer, Sanjay Sarma has been at the center of many of the most significant teaching and learning innovations during the past several years. As the Fred Fort Flowers and Daniel Fort Flowers professor of mechanical engineering at MIT, Sarma led the development of MIT Open Learning, serving as its first director, dean, and vice president (until 2021). During our IngenioUs conversation, Sanjay shares his insights about where he thinks learning is headed, what learners and teachers can do to create the best conditions for what he calls 'effortful learning,' and what we can all learn from MIT's success in reframing problems to find innovative solutions.
