In this talk, Niema Moshiri talks about his experience as a student in a
massive classroom, and how this to his goal of rethinking education. As classroom sizes continue to increase, he
illustrates the benefits of adaptive online education as a replacement for the
traditional classroom.
Alexander Niema Moshiri is currently a Ph.D. student in the
Bioinformatics and Systems Biology program at the University of California, San
Diego. He works on computational biology, with a research focus on
phylogenetics and phylogenomics. Aside from research, Niema places a heavy
emphasis on teaching, namely on the development of online educational content,
primarily Massive Adaptive Interactive Texts (MAITs). For the past few years,
he has worked with Dr. Pavel Pevzner and Dr. Phillip Compeau in the development
of the Bioinformatics Specialization Track on Coursera, and has separately
co-authored a free online MAIT on Data Structures that is being used at UCSD
and USD.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but
