He is dedicated to crafting new experiences for students and launched one of Stanford’s first social science MOOCs for a global audience, which featured Professor Larry Diamond on the topic of Democratic Development. He recently developed a course on promising practices in International Development for the University of Oslo, Norway's first MOOC for a global audience.
