I don’t mean to boast, but as someone with a Ph.D. in Physics, I happen to think I know quite a bit about the subject of physics and science in general. I’ve found that having this kind of academic background in a hard science certainly helps me a lot when it comes to my job as a Curriculum and Outreach Specialist here at STEM Education Works. Especially when it comes to technical writing, training, professional development, and product testing/troubleshooting.

Most of us know what to expect in a face-to-face classroom: Students sitting in rows, facing instructors and listening to lectures, watching videos displayed on screens up front, or, in smaller classes, participating in lively discussion.

The instructor’s PPT slides are brilliant. You’ve splurged on the expensive interactive courseware. Student engagement is stellar. So… why are half of your students still forgetting everything they learned in just a matter of weeks? It's likely a matter of cognitive science!
