Recent developments in cognitive psychology research provide insight into how learners absorb and process information. We can leverage this research as instructors and as learners ourselves. In this two-part workshop, we will focus primarily on two essential aspects of learning: failure and motivation. We will discuss the research related to these two topics, and how we can apply these findings to the digital classroom. Please contact Joanna Lawson (joanna.blake-turner@yale.edu) or Valeriia Mutc (valeriia.mutc@yale.edu) for more information. Attendance at both sessions of this two-part workshops will count as two ATWs toward the Poorvu Center's Certificate of College Teaching Preparation (CCTP).
