My chrome extensions shelf is the tidiest place in my generally messy digital workspace. Not many extensions are found worthy of a visible place up there. This one looks very promising and is given a chance. We will see.

How a Multimedia Approach Helps Students Learn

How a Multimedia Approach Helps Students Learn | Learning and Technologies | Scoop.it
Spread the loveFor a long time, I thought that “studying” meant rereading the same old textbook or lecture notes over and over—usually without really getting anywhere. I would nod along as I read, thinking Yep, this looks familiar. And after hours of cramming, I’d close the book and promptly forget everything. If you suspect that this study strategy isn’t the best, you’re right. Simply rereading old material is a form of passive learning: it doesn’t prompt students to think, question, analyze, or apply information as they read, nor does it challenge them to incorporate new ideas into their understanding of …

How to design classrooms effectively for Digital Learners | Learning and Technologies | Scoop.it

Surprisingly, it’s only recently that modern schools and districts have taken a good long look at how to design classrooms effectively for their learners’ needs. With that initiative have evolved solid ideas for the most crucial elements needed to achieve this. According to Envision, there are 6 key components to any well-designed classroom:

Metacognition and self-regulated learning | Education Endowment Foundation | #LEARNing2LEARN

Metacognition and self-regulated learning | Education Endowment Foundation | #LEARNing2LEARN | Learning and Technologies | Scoop.it

What does this guidance cover?


This guidance report is relevant to the teaching of all students, within any subject area. Most of the examples included are from Key Stages 1 to 4, where the research is strongest. It introduces a simplified framework for self-regulated learning and metacognition.

In due course, we will publish a more detailed research review exploring the subject in more depth; this is an area of academic discussion that may be of interest to some teachers. Here, however, we have simplified the frameworks to allow for ease of understanding and use in real-world settings—we focus on what the evidence says about what teachers can do to develop these skills. Often the research evidence is generic and hard to interpret; by giving specific examples we have tried to bring the work alive for teachers (but this means they are less directly supported by strong evidence).

This guidance draws on a review of the evidence about self-regulated learning and metacognition led by Professor Daniel Muijs and Dr Christian Bokhove (University of Southampton). It is not a new study in itself, but rather is intended as an accessible overview of existing research with clear, actionable guidance. More information about the review and the process is at the end of the review. Some key references are included here; for those wishing to explore the subject in more depth, the forthcoming report will contain a more comprehensive reference section.
