Delighted that ‘The Learning Revolution’ is being reprinted. Describes how DI & core instructional principles (distributed practice, interleaved learning, contextual diversity, testing effect) are applied to teaching reading & foreign languages. #DirectInstruction #spacedpractice

Well, HERE's an immensely helpful recap of Rich Mayer's guidance about online learning.
For instance:
* Keep visuals simple
* On slides, keep words near the image/graph they annotate
* Conversational tone > lecture
And so forth.

How you start class is doubly important and that's no different online. This video shows a great example of how one teacher does it.

Excellent analysis from @FFTEduDatalab. In a nutshell: A level entries with 5 students or less: CAGs used. Entries with 15+ students: Ofqual's moderation process used. Entries >5 but <15 students: combination of CAGs and moderation used. Explains so much.
