James Lang’s book takes research into cognitive theory and uses it as the basis for strategies for classroom practice to facilitate student learning. "Each chapter introduces a basic concept in cognitive theory, explains when and how it should be employed, and provides firm examples of how the intervention has been or could be used in a variety of disciplines. Small teaching techniques include brief classroom or online learning activities, one-time interventions, and small modifications in course design or communication with students” (Amazon blurb).
NOTE: Kindle editions of the book will be provided by the CTLS.
