Education should learn from the positive side of gaming - reward, accomplishment, and fun.
Mercedes does beautiful work, absolutely.
Nobody phrases it this way, but I think that artificial intelligence is almost a humanities discipline. It's really an attempt to understand human intelligence and human cognition.
It's important to celebrate your failures as much as your successes. If you celebrate your failures really well, and if you get to the motto and say, 'Wow, I failed, I tried, I was wrong, I learned something,' then you realize you have no fear, and when your fear goes away, you can move the world.
The individualization of learning fundamentally redefines the role of assessment.
At the end of the day, the true value proposition of education is employment.
Few ideas work on the first try. Iteration is key to innovation.

By Hollywood standards, they are so normal we don't even notice them. But in real life, they still don't exist. What if you could buy one today?
I have a really deep belief that we create technologies to empower ourselves. We've invented a lot of technology that just makes us all faster and better, and I'm generally a big fan of this. I just want to make sure that this technology stays subservient to people. People are the number one entity there is on this planet.
Giving education away for free is a really good idea, but it can't be the future of education. There has to be a business model around it that actually works.
I believe e-courses will eventually change people's attitude toward learning. Education will play an increasingly dominant role in people's lives. For people of all ages and all geographies.
You don't lose weight by watching someone else exercise. You don't learn by watching someone else solve problems. It became clear to me that the only way to do online learning effectively is to have students solve problems.
I was a popular professor. My teaching ratings were usually good. I could take complicated subjects and explain them in an entertaining way.
