Have you ever wondered how the science of teaching and learning might apply to your course design? In development since the early 20th century, advances in the science of teaching and learning continue to inform our understanding of effective instruction today. Join us for this 3-part series and learn the fundamentals of how learning works. These 45-minute sessions will also cover principles of instruction derived from evidence-based research. Finally, we’ll maximize our understanding of the science of learning to enhance our assessment strategies.
