While physical books will always hold their value especially for us millennials, the electronic versions are now the vogue. This is mainly due to the recent developments in (mobile) technology and the proliferation of e-reading services. You can have your entire library in your own pocket to take anywhere you go.

A good night’s sleep is a reward for all the hard work throughout the day. During sleep, our body repairs and regrows tissues, builds muscles and bones, and slows our heart rate down. However, sleep is not a uniform process, and there are stages in the sleep cycle. Broadly, sleep can be classified into non-REM and REM sleep. REM stands for Rapid Eye Movement.

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.
