Eyler, J.R.(2018). How Humans Learn: The Science and Stories behind Effective College Teaching. Morgantown, WV: West Virginia University Press.
This book looks at five key patterns of learners – curiosity, sociality, emotion, authenticity and failure – and offers insights from both experience and scientific inquiry into each. For each, he also suggests some practical takeaways from each of these topics for effective teaching. Very much focused on classroom work, there are many opportunities here to link the insights to learning design challenges for online learning.
