Active learning: learning by doing

Cognitive load: you can learn up to 7 new things at a time

Flipped classroom: home = lecturing & in-class = questions

Formative assessment: you learn by answering questions if you get immediate feedback

Just in case vs time: “You’ll need to know this later” is not a good motivator

Peer Instruction: better learning from peers through discussion

Spaced learning: it doesn’t stick until you’ve seen it 3-4 times over a period of time
