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.

LX–learning experience–is a term coined by learning experience designer Connie Malamed, in 2015. A learning experience can occur in a school or university, or in any setting in which the learner has access to conversations, books, videos, or digital tools. Not all learning experiences are designed, but a good LX designer can ensure success by incorporating certain elements into the learning experience.

In honor of Pi Day we all watched our favorite Pi Video. I take that back. The furry intern did not seem to care and just went and crawled under a desk and slept through the video. But she has never been good at math. Have fun – Steve The post Happy Pi Day 03/14/19 appeared first on CTeLearning.

Assessing student learning traditionally is accomplished with tests. The problem teachers have with this approach is managing them. If they’re short answer or essay — the preferred way to check understanding — grading takes a long time. And unless assessments are frequent, it’s easy to miss the student who is lost or just doesn’t get it.

Thank you, Jane, Ask a Tech Teacher contributor, for writing a quick overview of that topic’s intersection with education. .

Throwback Day–I’ll republish this Pi Day post from last year, just to remind you of this wonderful mathematical event: Pi Day is an annual celebration commemorating the mathematical constant ? (pi). Pi Day is observed on March 14 since 3, 1, and 4 are the three most significant digits of ? in the decimal form. Daniel Tammet, a high-functioning autistic savant, holds the European record for reciting pi from memory to 22,514 digits in five hours and nine minutes.
