Effective Learning Research Study

We invite you to join us in exploring the power of effective learning further, expanding the research to cover a more diverse set of cultural contexts and academic environments. The additional workload is minimal for the course instructor and student participants: your students will be asked to take a few short surveys (~15 mins each) before and after each of their course exams. All surveys will be created and distributed by the research study team. All student information and survey responses will be kept strictly confidential.
