Have you ever looked at your students and saw their eyes glaze over, knowing they most likely are not retaining anything you’re saying?

Today, we’re going to go through study skills you can provide to your students to enhance their recall, and we’ll cover interleaving and microlectures.

What can you do to increase long-term memory skills within your students? Recommended Resources:How Can I Use My Teaching to Improve Student Study Skills?Using Interleaving in Course Design to Improve RetentionHow Can I Use Microactivities to Engage Students and Improve Learning and Retention?Mindful Moments: 50 Microactivities for Energizing the College Classroom
