Episode 086 - Edward Maloney And Joshua Kim

Edward Maloney is the executive director of the Center for New Designs in Learning and Scholarship and a professor of the practice in the Department of English at Georgetown University. He is also the founding director of the master’s degree program in Learning, Design, and Technology at Georgetown and the director of Georgetown's teaching center, CNDLS. Joshua Kim is the director of online programs and strategy at the Dartmouth Center for the Advancement of Learning and a CNDLS senior fellow at Georgetown University. Josh is also the author of the Learning Innovations blog at Inside Higher Ed. Together, they wrote The Low-Density University: 15 Scenarios for Higher Education. It was published as an open-access e-book by Johns Hopkins Press in August. Given how influential their 15 scenarios have been to higher education planning in 2020, we wanted to talk with Eddie and Josh now, late in the year, to hear how they thought about their scenarios after seeing what higher education did this fall in response to the pandemic.
