Submitting your Work

Add your presentation materials (such as slides or notes) to the shared class notes repository's learning_theory folder.

You can either clone the repository and push your files or upload them through the website when you are ready.

Specifications

Because learning is influenced by many factors, there is no single best or most efficient approach. Instead, our goal is to understand how best to use each when designing your own EdTech.

Focus on the following questions:

1. What is its theory about how learning or knowledge transfer occurs?
2. What types of learning does it explain and what factors influence that learning?
3. What is a good and a poor example of this type of instruction or EdTech you have encountered in your education?
4. What does it suggest about how instruction should be structured?

You may use any resource you want for your review, but you must site it in your presentation or README (as appropriate).
