The college affordability crisis has gained much attention in recent years, yet prices continue to climb. Tuition increased 89 percent from 2002 to 2012, and textbook prices—which cost anywhere from $600 to $1300 today—rose 82 percent over the same period, according to U.S. Government Accountability Office. The prices keep many students, particularly those from low-income families, from completing college.

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.

Some school districts still are just starting to give their students access to email, but have relied on a different system for staff email for a long time. We often work with school districts that have staff using a product such as Office 365 while students get Gmail accounts. It makes sense. For as long as I can remember, faculty and administration have relied on Word, Excel and PowerPoint, while students tend to get the collaboration tools found in G Suite for Education.

Everything that is imaginable is possible, but not everything that is possible is imaginable. That puts humankind in a bit of a dilemma. We are limited to our own imaginations, and any invention that is ground breaking or transformative often transgresses the boundaries of conventional thinking. Many of the great ideas across history were dreamt of by mavericks, people who were considered to be a little unconventional, or simply downright strange.

From hours spent in class, to lesson structure and break times, formal education in China is worlds apart from that in America. The chasm is not only caused by physical miles involved, but also the native variable cultures and traditions between the two countries. We’ve learned that there’s no reason to force American educational system ‘norms’ on Chinese students, as that can lead to high drop-out rates and low attendance.
