Keynote lecture at 2016 NTU Learning and Teaching Seminar - Students as Partners in Learning and Teaching. In this keynote, I will consider the role of students as partners in learning with reference to what current research can tell us about how people learn, what students have to say about what supports their learning, and where technology can help.

29. RESEARCH QUESTIONS
1. What do students in my Biology 463 course think they
are learning, and how does this align with the course
learning objectives?
2. What kinds of evidence do students rely on to
determine that they have learned something, and how
does that align with the evidence used by the
instructor?
