The Learning Science Newsletter makes it easy (and cheaper!) to keep on top of learning science research.

Every month, I review the latest learning science research, select the most important lessons learned and distill them into concrete design practices for you to apply to your learning design process immediately.

I also include a classic piece of research from the archive, and a space so you can ask me your most pressing questions.

Designing learning experiences which deliver learner motivations & mastery is hard. Millions of us design & deliver learning experiences each year, but average impact rates flatline at ~6%. Ouch.

Often content, teacher expertise, class sizes and technology get the blame. But time and again research shows that the problem is one of learning design, not delivery.

Research also shows that by baking the science of learning into the art of learning design, we can 10X learner motivation, mastery and joy.
