Event Description
This session with Professor Nikos Harris will offer a summary of evidence-based learning practices, which promote deeper understanding and longer-term retention of course material. This session will also focus on how certain learning tools and strategies, including use of computers in the classroom, reliance on lecture capture, and reviewing other students’ CANS, can pose serious dangers to learning. However, some of these tools can also assist learning if used in a manner which supplements, rather than replaces, lecture attendance.
