The Active Learning Podcast Michael Lampe, Ed.D.

Ever wonder if a university could build a free online simulation-based active learning platform that defied conventional wisdom of creating innovations? Meet Keith Sewell and Keenan Beaumont from Monash University's Faculty of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences who helped save many experiential learning programs during the pandemic with MyDispense. This episode will give you insight on how even the biggest innovations can be initially messy, completely sharable, and provide high-quality learning experiences for our students.

Starting off short and sweet to kick off the jumpstart of the Active Learning Podcast! Doing a quick shoutout to all those who made education possible throughout the pandemic!

Continuing the mission of talking active learning in instructional design, Michael discusses how siloing can hurt faculty members from collaborating with each other. He calls for utilizing intentional faculty development to un-silo academic departments to create innovative approaches to educating students in the classroom.
