Keynote: Getting Into the Minds of Learners to Promote Rich LearningHow can we help students gain a solid foundation of knowledge, while also teaching them to think? How do memory and attention factor in to the learning process? And how can we better equip students to be in charge of their own learning, not just in a single course but for life? These questions are some of the most challenging ones we face as we design and teach our courses. Fortunately, findings from cognitive psychology and related disciplines tell us a lot about how to address them, offering design principles that we can use in blended, face-to-face, and online modalities. This talk will present key findings from learning science and examples of how these can be implemented using educational technology.
