This Week’s Must-Read Book
on Online Learning
Teaching with Clarity: How to Prioritize and Do Less So Students Understand More
By Tony Frontier
Many years ago, the Minister of Education for Singapore spoke eloquently of “teach less, learn more” as a core strategy for education in Singapore. This book is based on this principle. Rather than overwhelm students with content (much of which is redundant), the author uses design principles, which declutter courses by focusing on intentional design, shared and clear purpose and meaningful moments for feedback. Rather than use a textbook, the author encourages us to focus on assessable outcomes and capabilities and then identify what resources, processes and activities are needed for the student to demonstrate capability. Focus is the message.
