Envision hosting a home movie night where each friend arrives with a different set of technology relics: laser discs, VHS tapes, Betamax and even physical slides. To add to the complexity, everyone brings media files in a variety of formats, such as.m4a,mov, and.wma. The devices, equipped with various players and connectors like VGA, HDMI and Bluetooth, create a chaotic jumble of hardware incompatibility.

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.

The 411 on Text-Based Coding If you’re anything like me, the thought of learning text-based coding can be a total buzzkill. Maybe it’s ’cause I came up as a millennial, tweaking my Myspace with some HTML or sprucing up my Neopets profile.

Students often feel the pressure to be perfect as early as primary school, and this need to be error-free follows them throughout their education and into future careers. But, is this want for perfection realistic? No – it is not! We believe that the want for constant perfection in education creates an opposite effect for students.
