NOTE: I began this post with the intention of writing about the framework. Some of it has managed to be, in fact, focused on the framework.

Apologies in advance for a post that meanders even more than usual.

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! With so much material to "teach" these days, we often forget to incorporate key proven principles into our curricula — namely active recall, metacognition, spaced repetition, and interleaving practice.

I’ve been writing about apps for a long time, but they are not of equal importance. Microsoft’s free Seeing AI app may be a game changer for people with visual impairments.

Photo from Maxpixel The French sociologist Emile Durkheim's study of suicide led to a theory that instability resulting in a breakdown of standards or social conventions can lead to alienation. He called it ' anomie ' and described it as a condition in which we discover that all of the social values and connections we considered important, are suddenly no longer there, and we become detached, lost, void of our sense of community and identity.
