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.

With the expert guidance of our instructor, Zary (pictured above on the far left), I and four other trainees learned how to operate and program two of Dobot’s larger and more complex robotic arm models: the MG400 and the Magi
