It was a typical weekday at my local grocery store. I was browsing down the aisles to see what I could throw together in time for dinner when I saw someone who reminded me of a former student. At first, I was unsure if the person I was staring at was my former student, but as the distance narrowed between us, I realized it was him.

The instructor’s PPT slides are brilliant. You’ve splurged on the expensive interactive courseware. Student engagement is stellar. So… why are half of your students still forgetting everything they learned in just a matter of weeks? It's likely a matter of cognitive science!
