New book written by teachers for teachers (who happen to also be cognitive experts in learning)!
My chapter interleaving is probably one of my favorite things that I've written. I'm so excited about this book. The chapters are all digestible and concrete without sacrificing deeper understanding.

The book features scientists @lkfazio.bsky.social @drcindynebel.bsky.social @stevencpan.bsky.social @veronicayan.bsky.social. They're teachers, too!
It isn't science-y at all. AND it's short: 10 chapters, only 10 pages each #EduSky

Teachers who want to be truly ‘evidence-informed’ need to treat all research equally, avoiding bias in favour of the studies that they like, says @cbokhove.bsky.social
Are your biases getting in the way of engaging with education research?
Many describe themselves as evidence-informed educators, says Christian Bokhove, but apply different standards to the findings they actually like

How do we continue to make feedback effective as students increasingly move away from studying on campus, with fewer opportunities for dialogue with lecturers (& other students)? @drrobnash.bsky.social & I ponder this question @timeshighered.bsky.social:
www.timeshighereducation.com/campus/stude...
www.timeshighereducation.com/campus/stude...
As students become more ‘distant’, can feedback still hit the mark?
Whether they are behind a computer screen or behind bars, all students need support with making effective use of feedback – whether or not the process is a two-way street
