Professor W. Eric L. Grimson
Chancellor for Academic Advancement, MIT
One of the key leaders of the 2nd highest-ranked university in the world, the Professor Grimson leads the MIT Strategic Plan, which is remarkably similar to our own Beacon plan.
He has much to say about small group learning, student hubs, and blended learning, all being rolled out at MIT.
He is a MOOC pioneer whose EdX course regularly has over 100,000 students from across the globe.
Adelaide is the only university in Australia he is visiting.
