Assessment, feedback and reflection, rethought for every level of learning.
Dr. Michelle Sengara hosts a fast, warm education podcast built on the idea that learning happens in homes and workplaces as much as in schools. Solo episodes make the case for feedback loops, reflective practice and new approaches to assessment, and guest conversations bring in people from academic leadership and learning technology support.

The Education Revolution is Dr. Michelle Sengara's running argument that the way people learn can change, and that the change usually starts small. Every episode opens with the same creed: education is everywhere, in homes, workplaces and schools, and everyone is both a teacher and a learner. That line matters, because the show really does move between those settings. Some episodes are solo talks, one of them introduced as number 13 in a run of revolutionary ideas of 2025. They sound like a teacher thinking out loud at speed. Questions pile up, asides branch off, and then the point lands as something an educator could try tomorrow. Assessment is the lever she leans on hardest. Change what counts as success and how it is measured, the argument goes, and the rest follows. Not like falling dominoes, she corrects herself, but flowing. Feedback gets its own treatment, built around scaffolded assignments that feed into one another and project or portfolio-based work that leaves room for response along the way. She is candid about why this is hard: educators with too many students and too little time, and the ego that makes criticism sting for teachers and students alike. Reflection is billed as a radical tool. The secret ingredient turns out to be discomfort, nothing sweeter, and psychological safety and normalised vulnerability are what make it workable. AI comes in as a matter of literacy and capacity building for staff and human resources departments, a step past the policy debate over whether to let it in at all. In 'The Future is HARMONIZED!', her predictions are drawn as three overlapping circles in a Venn diagram, and human instincts are cast as what will set people apart from machines. The host also carries ideas across four levels, elementary, secondary, higher education and adult learning, and argues for connected learning ecosystems over programs working in silos. Guests bring the focus onto institutions. The conversation with Cristi Ford questions courses built entirely on multiple choice and argues that the field is still stuck in a pedagogy mindset and has not yet moved to andragogy. Helen Brennagh talks about learning technology support and her aim to reach faculty and staff before problems start, instead of waiting for something to break. In these interviews the host paraphrases, reframes and pushes rather than sitting back. The mood is warm and energetic and rarely quiet for long. What a listener takes away is less a theory than a nudge: start with one concrete change and build from there.
Made for: Suits a listener who teaches, trains or designs learning in a school, a university or a workplace and wants concrete ideas on assessment, feedback, reflection and AI literacy.
What sets it apart: Stands out for treating education as something that happens at home and at work as much as at school, and for pairing idea-driven solo episodes on assessment, feedback and reflection with guests from academic affairs and learning technology services.
Conversations that seek to (re)think (re)define and (re)design our systems of education for a postdigital world. We need to stop trying to keep up and start getting ahead! Join Dr. Michelle Sengara as she explores the evolving role education plays in both our personal and professional lives. With a steady rotation of interesting and opinionated guests that run the gamut from academics and executives to athletes, artists, and human resources professionals, we will break down what matters to us when it comes to teaching and learning these days, and work together to spark purposeful change in the teaching and learning systems that surround us!
