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! With so much material to "teach" these days, we often forget to incorporate key proven principles into our curricula — namely active recall, metacognition, spaced repetition, and interleaving practice.

(I think their skepticism was in not understanding what we were building!) And then they learned so much. That’s a win-win for me (and for them). So, as always, let me share a few things- especially four things to absolutely avoid when you try this.
