Epic talks to Roger Schank
If you’re interested in learning, and particularly e-learning, then you’ve probably heard of Roger Schank. In the early 1970s at Stanford, Roger achieved worldwide fame when he managed to get computers to process typewritten English language sentences. He continued his career at Yale, working on enabling computers to read newspaper stories. Then he turned his attention to learning, believing that if we could understand how people learn then we could apply that knowledge to computers, thereby enabling them to understand even more deeply.
Nearly 40 years on, Roger is one of the world's leading visionaries in artificial intelligence, cognitive science and learning theory, speaking passionately about the need to design and implement learning-by-doing and story-centred curricula in schools, universities, and corporations.
Roger recently visited Epic and spoke with Dr Naomi Norman, Director of Learning. Listen to their discussion by clicking the links below.
