In Episode 26 of The Smarter Campus Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Anzar Khaliq, Chief Learning Officer and an outspoken advocate for reimagining education—entirely from scratch.

With a background that blends physics, improvisational theatre, radio hosting, and educational leadership, Dr. Khaliq shares powerful insights into what teaching should look like in the age of AI.

What We Discuss:

• Why earning a doctorate doesn’t mean you know how to teach
• How AI can rebuild learning models—not just upgrade them
• Practical ways to use AI for onboarding, assessments, and collaborative faculty dialogue
• What it means to shift from delivering information to fostering curiosity
• The importance of community, improvisation, and embracing discomfort in teaching

Dr. Khaliq’s message is clear: education must evolve faster than it is—and AI is the catalyst to rethink not just how we teach, but why.
