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!

Professors can be “haphazard” in designing their courses, and a course often changes considerably when a new faculty member comes in to take it over. As a result, college departments don’t always have a clear sense of what it is they are trying to teach students. That’s the argument made by Maria Andersen, a former college instructor turned entrepreneur.

An evergreen topic of interest at ProfHacker is how to automate tasks, whether via a web tool such as If This, Then That *, an iOS app such as Workflow (recently bought by Apple), or a language like AppleScript. Anything that you do multiple times is a candidate for automation, although there are always caveats. If you are interested either in learning more about automating tasks, or in finding out updates to automation-related topics, I’m delighted to recommend Automation Orchard.

We also thought pitting some awesome educators against one another in the name of literacy would help us learn some booktalking tips (and new book titles) along the way.
