BU Virtual Connects - From BU Alum to Stanford University – One Leader’s Journey to Extend Life Transforming Education Beyond Silicon Valley

In this episode, Carissa Little, associate dean for global and online education at Stanford University, began her education journey as an undergraduate at Boston University, and now is a leading voice and collaborator in driving new models and innovative approaches in online education. She talks about what it takes to successfully stand up online units – from course development and marketing to technology. She also contends that the acceleration of technology in teaching and learning will continue to drive change, and she takes pride in thinking carefully about the power of human connection and collaboration. In her own words: “My goal is to have impact on as many people as possible for whatever scale I can muster.” I would love to see higher ed band together more in this time and in this space to partner on that mission. We can do much more together than we can do separately.”
