EdTech Learning Lab

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 per

    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!
