Assignment Context
Actively recalling information is one of the best ways to make learning stick because it helps us take information from our working memory and embed it in our long-term memory. For this reason, we’ll reflect on each of the major learning theories we read about in Learner-Centered Pedagogy the week after we read and discuss them.
