Jared Ten Brink, a doctoral student in education at the University of Michigan, is an enrolled member of the Nottawaseppi Huron Band of the Potawatomi. He lives a two-and-a-half hour drive from the tribe’s reservation, which makes it hard for him to help his two young kids learn about their Native heritage. As a former science teacher and instructional coach, though, he was looking for a way to deliver the teachings of tribal elders to a broader audience via distance education.

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 used to start a talk on internationalization of code with the question “How many letters are in the alphabet?” Once I had several people say “26” I would ask “Shouldn’t you ask ‘what alphabet’ first?” I would then discuss some different alphabets and how many more or fewer letters they had. Then briefly mention that not all alphabets look the same.

Wally the Astronaut, from The Physics Aviary Above is a screenshot from the "Work to KE" simulated laboratory exercise on The Physics Aviary. In the exercise, you press start, and a fire extinguisher causes Wally the Astronaut to speed up. You press stop, and the fire extinguisher ceases to apply a force. Wally coasts, then passes through two photogates separated by 10 meters.
