Celebrating 100 Episodes with Two Leading Learning Podcasters (Prof. Chris Dede & John Helmer)

Welcome to the 100th episode of The Art & Science of Learning podcast in which we are celebrating this major milestone. What an incredibly rewarding and enjoyable journey it has been, I learned a lot and met many fascinating people. I not only learned how to create a podcast from scratch, but I also learned so much from the many guests I interviewed from around the world. In this special episode, I am speaking with two learning professionals and podcasters whom I admire. They both have very successful podcasts on learning that have gone far beyond 100 episodes. We discuss how they started their podcast, what inspired them, what they learned along the way, and what they are excited about in the field of learning.  Prof. Chris Dede was the Timothy E. Wirth Professor in Learning Technologies at the Harvard Graduate School of Education for 22 years and currently, he is Senior Research Fellow. Chris is also the co-founder of the Silver Lining for Learning podcast and initiative. His fundamental interest is developing new types of educational systems to meet the opportunities and challenges of the 21st century. His research spans emerging technologies for learning, infusing technology into large-scale educational improvement initiatives, developing policies that support educational transformation, and providing leadership in educational innovation. Currently, Chris is a Co-Principal Investigator of the NSF-funded National Artificial Intelligence Institute in Adult Learning and Online Education (https://aialoe.org/).  Prof. Chris Dede https://www.gse.harvard.edu/directory/faculty/christopher-dede (https://www.gse.harvard.edu/directory/faculty/christopher-dede)Silver Lining for Learning https://silverliningforlearning.org (https://silverliningforlearning.org/) John Helmer is the owner and senior consultant at John Helmer Consulting as well as the founder of the two highly successful podcasts The Learning Hack and Great Minds on Learning. In his consultancy, he advises businesses in communications and marketing.
