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!

It’s a wildly popular concept that has led to prevailing beliefs that students perform better if we cater to their natural learning styles.
