EdTech Learning Lab

Stanford Educational Technology

EdTech Learning Lab is a new podcast produced by the Stanford EdTech team as a way of showcasing our collaborations with faculty at the Stanford School of Medicine. The podcast episodes are split into two sub-series: Project Spotlight and How to Grow As a Medical Educator. Project Spotlight features EdTech staff and clients in conversation about their recently completed collaborations. EdTech staff will lead a guided conversation including speaker introductions, an overview of the motivation for creating the learning experience being discussed, the core concept of the learning experience and its design, and additional topics including feedback, outcomes, and lessons learned. How to Grow as a Medical Educator features faculty who have demonstrated self-driven growth and innovation as educators in conversation with EdTech staff. EdTech staff will lead faculty in a loosely structured interview to learn more about the faculty member, their background, their professional focuses, their perspective on teaching and education, recent experiences they’ve had growing as educators, and any guidance or advice they have for other educators looking to learn from their experiences.

    Scaling Pediatric Patient Education with Drs Kathleen Kan & Chenxi Liu | EdTech Learning Lab Ep 2

    Episode Summary: In this episode of the EdTech Learning Lab, host and Lead Instructional Designer Claire Kulikowski sits down with Dr. Kathleen Kan, Dr. Chenxi Liu, and Stanford EdTech Creative Director William Bottini to discuss the creation of "Bladder Basics." What started as an in-person clinical workshop has evolved into a fully animated, character-driven musical series designed to teach kids and families about bladder health. Together, the team unpacks how they transformed a pressing clinical need—long wait times for pediatric urology patients experiencing pee and poop accidents—into an accessible, engaging, and shame-free educational resource. They explore the learning science behind the series, the power of cross-disciplinary collaboration, and what it takes to turn a wild idea into a successful health education tool. Key Takeaways: From Clinic to Cartoon: Discover how high patient demand and a shift to Zoom during the pandemic inspired the evolution of "Bladder Boot Camp" into a highly accessible, 7-part animated video series. Normalizing the Conversation: Learn how the team used relatable characters—like Kai, Bladdimir, Pootrick, and Waterlupe—to remove the stigma, anxiety, and embarrassment that kids and parents often feel around bladder issues. Learning Science in Action: Dr. Chenxi Liu explains how the ARCS model (Attention, Relevance, Confidence, and Satisfaction) and situated learning theory were utilized to keep 5- to 11-year-olds motivated and engaged with the curriculum. Advice for Innovators: For clinicians wanting to build their own educational tools, the team shares their biggest lesson: define your "North Star" goal, break the massive vision down into achievable steps, and always listen to the voice of your audience. Resources Mentioned: Bladder Basics: An animated health education course focusing on healthy bladder habits for kids and families. [Insert Link] The ARCS Model of Motivational Design: The instructional design framework utilized by the team to ensure learner engagement. AERA (American Educational Research Association): The national education conference where the Kan Lab and EdTech team presented their research and outcomes.

    Critical Thinking in the AI Era with Dr. Sharon F. Chen | EdTech Learning Lab Podcast Ep.1

    Episode Notes Episode Summary: In this episode of the EdTech Learning Lab, host Tela Vessa sits down with Dr. Sharon F. Chen, Clinical Professor of Pediatrics at Stanford University, to discuss the creation of the newly launched "Thinking Habits in the AI Era" CME course. Together, they explore the critical need for explicit, reflective thinking in medicine to combat AI-driven "cognitive offloading," unpack the development of the Thinking Habits Matrix (THM), and share behind-the-scenes insights into how clinical subject-matter experts and instructional technologists collaborate to build impactful, visually stunning learning experiences. Key Takeaways: Combating Cognitive Complacency: As AI tools become more integrated into healthcare, practitioners risk relying too heavily on automated solutions. Explicit critical reflection is vital to ensure patient care remains deliberate and human-centered. The Thinking Habits Matrix (THM): Developed over years of clinical and educational research, the THM is a problem-solving framework that acts as a shared "language." It helps physicians step back, reflect on their decision-making, and eventually coach learners to do the same. Scaffolding the Learning Process: You can't coach what you don't practice. The new CME course intentionally slows down the learning process, requiring practitioners to self-reflect using their own patient cases before they ever touch an AI coaching tool or attempt to guide their peers. The Secret to EdTech Collaboration: Successful projects require more than just technical skills. A shared vision, mutual respect for everyone's time, and open, iterative brainstorming are what turn a good concept into a great educational tool. Resources Mentioned: Thinking Habits in the AI Era: Find the new asynchronous, interactive CME-accredited course live on Cloud CME. Stanford Graduate School of Education (GSE): Mentioned for the collaborative work on learning science and reflective practices with Dr. Shima Salehi. Articulate Rise 360: The authoring tool utilized by the Stanford EdTech team to build the self-paced learning modules. Connect with Us: Subscribe to the EdTech Learning Lab on All major platforms!
