As an educator, how do you create a successful, nurturing learning environment? Let’s start by tackling an obstacle everyone encounters eventually — the learning brick wall. For some, this wall poses an exciting challenge. For others, this wall stops us in our tracks and looms over us. Meeting the wall is inevitable in learning. Often, we think the brick wall is our ability to learn a subject, topic or skill.

The instructor’s PPT slides are brilliant. You’ve splurged on the expensive interactive courseware. Student engagement is stellar. So… why are half of your students still forgetting everything they learned in just a matter of weeks? It's likely a matter of cognitive science!

The first lab grown meat was made in 2013, and while the idea seemed cool, it was extremely expensive at the time. A burger made of lab grown meat would have taken about $300,000 to create. You could buy 75,000 big macs for the same price!
