Small Teaching – Everyday Lessons from the Science of Learning

Most faculty members have some connection to cognitive theories of learning – how the brain processes ideas, experiences, inputs. The trouble is that it all sounds very complicated. This book gets past this and looks at what you can do both in class and online to improve learning and learning outcomes by small tweaks to teaching. It looks at the idea that less is more, that small but focused interventions can be much more effective than substantial and disruptive inputs and at the small design changes you can make in an online course to make it work better. Clearly written, focused material from someone who knows.
