Overview: Education is undergoing an unprecedented transformation. What does the future hold for teaching and learning, and what are the lessons that we can learn from changes in other "content industries" over the past 25 years?

Reflecting on his recent experience in helping lead Harvard University's pivot to digital learning during the pandemic, Harvard Business School Professor and Vice Provost for Advances in Learning, Bharat Anand, will engage our community in this Academy Medical Education Grand Rounds to consider these questions, and their implications for medical education in our digital environment. Professor Anand will share insights from his celebrated book, The Content Trap, and their applications for virtual teaching and learning. His core thesis is that success will come not only from exchanging content but developing connectivity.
