DESIGN FOR LEARNING

WANT TO MAKE THINGS STICK?

I'm a cognitive scientist addressing practical questions about instructional techniques with insights from the literature on expertise and learning.

INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN

How do people learn? And how do we improve how we teach?

There is a large body of research on learning. Only a little of it makes its way into practice. Whether you're guiding policy, developing a course, or looking to update training materials, I provide critical insight into research-backed strategies and long-held myths about learning.

RIGOROUS RESEARCH

How do you know what works in education and training?

​

Measuring learning outcomes is tricky business. If you want to ensure that your training program is as effective as it can be, I can work with you to manage and interpret efficacy studies to improve your instructional practices, whether on a large-scale or a small-scale.

EDUCATION TECHNOLOGY CONSULTING

Does your technology actually help students learn? How do you know?

​

Technology companies face a lot of choices about how students, teachers, and parents interact with their products. Ultimately, these choices affect how educators leverage the technology and what students learn from engaging with it.  Don't go in blind. I provide advice on what learning mechanics are likely at work with your technology and how to leverage those mechanics to reach meaningful learning goals.
