Things will get a lot more interesting if listeners start calling in with questions, comments, teaching tips, programming suggestions, updates, …or anything else on your mind!

2 | Nature of nurture

4 minutes

In this age of digital teaching and learning, we must be able to help our students navigate their digital platforms: learning  management systems, adaptive learning platforms, college/department/course websites, and more. Brief narrated video walkthroughs (screencasts) are simple and quick ways to provide clear guidance to individuals and whole classes.

5 | Cumulative Testing Makes Learning Last

12 minutes

In the featured segment, Kevin shares his case story of using cumulative testing to strengthen long-term learning in his course. Using an easy method of adding a few questions from prior tests to each test and exam, Kevin was able to better prepare his students for the comprehensive final exam. And hopefully carry the essential concepts of A&P forward into future courses and careers.
