EDU Central REDUX –Building Memory with Science and Senses – Put on Your Thinking Cap (EP:42) With  Stella Collins, MSc. This month, we are revisiting a classic episode from 2021. Creating effective learning can be complicated – from our biology to our environment, there are a lot of elements that influence outcomes. And how can we get our learners curious anyway, especially in our increasingly digital spaces? Grab a hat and put it on (we mean it…. we'll wait while you go get it)  because in this episode, celebrated author and science-based learning thinker, Stella Collins, joins Stacy Craft to explore learning and the brain, memory, the powers of sensory experiences, avoiding stagnation, community, and why there is a group of people who think “Brains!” when they bite into a bar of chocolate. We also take time to unpack the LEARNS strategy for designing and providing education that people will remember. Questions? Feedback? Ideas?

EDU Central REDUX – Revisiting Problem Based Learning and Team Based Learning – Your New Educational Super Strategy (EP:41) With Diana Dolmans, PhD. This month, we are revisiting a classic episode from 2020.  With the continued evolution of emerging technology and the power that AI to help invigorate frameworks like problem based learning, we need to be ready to leverage insights from educational science in ways that can be collaborative and transformative. From workplace training to higher education settings, team based small group activities around problems are a staple. However, when we talk about the models of Team Based Learning vs Problem based Learning, how these interact, differ, where they come from, as well as how to implement them meaningfully, we can sometimes get lost. This can get especially complex when we move these strategies to a virtual environment. In this episode, Stacy Craft talks with esteemed Professor and researcher in the field of innovative learning arrangements Dr. Diana Dolmans from Maastricht University, the Netherlands to shed light on these complex topics as well as help us navigate new spaces that re-envision how we use these principles and translate them into practice.

EDU Central REDUX - Revisiting Learning Styles - Unpacking the Myth 2020 (EP:38) With Tesia Marshik, PhD. To close out the year, we are revisiting a classic episode from 2020- because it feels important and timely.  With the rise of personalized learning and the power that AI to help us meet the dream of personalized learning, we are now, more than ever, ready to leverage insights from educational science in ways that can be helpful and not helpful.  Many new technologies have emerged promising to identify learner's Learning Styles and customized learning experiences to align with learning styles. So, understanding the differences between learning styles, preferences, and their impact on learning has become crucial to creating more effective and personalized learning experiences. FROM 2020: Let's talk about learning styles! The idea that we learn better in our "preferred learning style" is pretty pervasive and has become part of popular culture. Scores of consumer sites sell and promote various examples and models, urging people to "find your learning style". But, is there any evidence to support this? As educators, do we have a duty to follow the science? Join Stacy Craft and Associate Professor of Psychology Dr. Tesia Marshik as they unpack the learning styles neuromyth, the culture around this popular idea, why it is harmful and how to persevere to create quality effective educational experiences that still allow learners to reflect on how they learn.

Co-Occurrence #10 - Look Both Ways: Curbing Runaway Design and Healing Education's Tomorrow (EP.33) With Carissa Carter, M.S. and Scott Doorley, M.A.  As educators we create, are subjected to, and engage with other people's creations and intentions. We often assume that our values and intentions are going to automatically manifest in the way that we work with these creations and when we use other people's creations. We assume that the outcomes of those creations are going to align with our intentions. But the things we design take on a life of their own, and if we aren't thoughtful that can produce outcomes with effects we never intended. But. what if we took time to understand the past and the future of design? What if we used intentionality to design to heal? In our lives, in our curriculum, and in our technology? Stanford professors and authors of Assembling Tomorrow: A Guide to Designing a Thriving Future,  Carissa Carter and Scott Doorley, join Stacy Craft to explore these questions and beyond.

Accessible Technology and Design Impacts All Learners - VSF Technology and the Power of Innovation for Access (EP.23) With Randal Walker, M.D. "When the wall of exclusion came down, everybody benefited" - Angela Glover Blackwell Have you heard of the "curb-cut effect"?  It is a phenomenon when a technology or innovation comes along meant to benefit one situation or demographic and ends up being used in unplanned ways by just about everyone who has access. Many technologies we rely on today have come about from assistive devices that were originally designed as accommodations for disabilities, e.g. keyboards and closed captions. When we design learning and technology with inclusion and access in mind, the outcomes is often that almost everyone benefits.  Pioneering and award winning physician with Mayo Clinic Division of Infectious Disease & Assistant Professor of Medicine, Emeritus, Randal Walker, M.D. joins Stacy Craft to share his story and journey innovating new assistive technologies for low vision readers. His creation, Visual Syntactic Text Formatting, has become an illuminating case study in the unexpected and meaningful ways assistive tools and technologies can benefit everyone. Questions? Feedback?

Connecting with Learners - Learner Centered Approaches (EP:18) With  Dr. Cheryll Albold, Ph.D.  Learner-Centered instructional approaches ask educators to shift their focus from traditional, teacher-centric approaches, where instructors push information at learners, to one that asks learners to actively co-create knowledge and participate in their learning. This transition from "Sage on the Stage" to "Guide on the Side" is not always a simple one and requires that educators connect with their learners.  In this episode, Stacy Craft chats with Dr. Cheryll Albold, an assistant professor of medical education in the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine and Science and Administrator and Designated Institutional Administrator for the Mayo Clinic School of Graduate Medical Education, about why connecting with learners is so important, principles and foundations for learner-centered approaches, and pedagogically-sound practices and simple design recommendations to help you start incorporating more learner-centered strategies in your education Questions?

Caring and Education - From Theory to Practice in Adult Education (EP:09) With Whitney Kilgore, PhD. The ethics of care, often referred to as "Care Theory", is a theory and philosophy that encompasses the human experience as a whole. Pioneered by educationalist and philosopher Nel Noddings with the publication of her book "Caring" in 1982 along with continued work thereafter, Care Theory asks us to re-frame our approach to each other and our experiences through the lens of caring. But, why does this matter and how does it intersect with pedagogy and adult education?
