6 Strategies for Effective Learning
  • Spaced practice – scheduling multiple short study sessions to form connections and enhance long-term retention of information
  • Interleaving – mixing or switching between different topics or types of questions to build broader connections to course content
  • Concrete examples – using examples that contain specific details to help clarify abstract concepts
  • Elaboration – asking questions to build connections between different topics and prior learning and experiences
  • Dual coding – presenting the same information using both text and images to create two different pathways to recall information
  • Retrieval practice – using low-stakes and practice quizzing to enhance retrieval of course content

2. Interleaving
  • This helps students to see the connections between concepts and subjects, and supports students in identifying the correct strategy to solve a problem.
  • Students prefer blocking, because they tend to recall more information and answer more questions correctly during the study session; however, blocking tends to result in lower test scores than interleaving.

5. Dual coding
  • The brain processes visual and verbal information separately and simultaneously. 
  • When a concept is presented using both images and text or speech together, students encode both representations of the concept, resulting in more thorough processing and deeper retention of the information.
  • People tend to remember images better than text, and so by incorporating images along with text, learners are more likely to recall the information as a result of having both visual and verbal cues.
  • Using multiple representations (e.g. images, text, and speech) of information creates multiple, connected memories for that information, resulting in more durable learning than if the student used only one representation.
