Active learning is not just a trend – it’s backed by science. It’s proven to be much more effective than passive learning because it engages learners in hands-on activities that lead to better understanding and retention. In this latest article, Stephen Kosslyn dives deep into 5 key principles of the brain that make active learning so impactful: 1️⃣ Deep Processing – The more you think, the more you remember! 2️⃣ Deliberate Practice – Feedback and practice are the keys to mastery. 3️⃣ Dual Coding – Combining words and images boosts memory. 4️⃣ Chunking – Organizing material into manageable units helps retention. 5️⃣ Associations – Linking new knowledge to what you already know enhances recall. From role-playing to problem-solving, active learning helps learners master knowledge and skills in a way that sticks. Want to know how you can implement these principles in your classroom?

Our founder, Dr. Stephen Kosslyn, was recently featured on Beyond the Prompt, a podcast hosted by Jeremy Utley & Henrik Werdelin, where he shared his visionary insights on how AI is reshaping the future of education. In the episode Dr. Kosslyn dives deep into the transformative potential of AI in education. He explores: 🔹 The critical difference between passive and active learning and why learning by using leads to greater retention and creative application. 🔹 AI's role as a "cognitive amplifier"—supporting learners in storing information, enhancing creativity, and advancing critical thinking. 🔹 The limitations of AI, especially when it comes to context-specific, open-ended challenges, and the ongoing importance of human insight and the humanities in an AI-driven world. Dr. Kosslyn also gives a sneak peek into his upcoming book, Learning to Flourish in the Age of AI, releasing this December! 🎧Listen here: https://lnkd.in/e8biXrZr #AIinEducation #ActiveLearning #FutureOfLearning #EdTech #InnovationInEducation
