We intercepted Sanjay Sarma before he took off for Logan Airport and meet in building 35 to discuss his book, Grasp - the Science Transforming How We Learn, education, and MIT.
Professor Sarma recently stepped down as MIT Vice President of Open Learning where he led MIT initiatives, such as MITx, edX, OpenCourseware, the Integrated Learning Initiative, and many others.  He is now heading to Malaysia, to take the tiller as President and CEO of the Asia School of Business.

Another Lock the Quill Global Challenge winner is announced, and we reset the meter for March. Email your address to lockthequill@mit.edu. The farthest listener in March will win a Lock the Quill sticker, and *may* be a contender for a coveted T-shirt, though the competition is fierce.

Thanks to Professor Evan Ziporyn for the MIT Gamelan track!
