In this interview with Innovate Editor-in-Chief James L. Morrison, Phillip Long describes some of the outcomes of iCampus, a recently concluded seven-year, $25 million research collaboration between MIT and Microsoft Research that focused on building technologies that enabled more effective learning. Long describes two of the many projects arising from this effort: Technology Enhanced Active Learning in Physics (TEAL), which has completely reconfigured the way MIT teaches introductory physics in order to encourage student engagement, and iLabs, which has created a way for MIT instructors to put real laboratory experiences—not virtual simulations but actual experiments running in real time—online so that students can experience them remotely.
