they learn next to nothing.
Eric Mazur, 2009
14. Testing effect / retrieval practice
… long-term memory is increased when some of the learning period is devoted to

27. Socrative is an impressive tool for student interaction, but as
with other similar apps, its raises questions about the use of
third-party applications in a HEI environment.
If their use is not officially approved and something goes
wrong – they are used as a platform for inappropriate
behaviour or to breach student or lecturer confidentiality –
where does the responsibility lie? With the lecturer? With the
student? Who is liable?

'Constructive alignment' starts with the notion that the learner constructs his or her own learning through relevant learning activities. The teacher's job is to create a learning environment that supports the learning activities appropriate to achieving the desired learning outcomes. The key is that all components in the teaching system - the curriculum and its intended outcomes, the teaching methods used, the assessment tasks - are aligned to each other. All are tuned to learning activities addressed in the desired learning outcomes. The learner finds it difficult to escape without learning appropriately.
Fink – good on curriculum design, starting where students are
Gibbs – encourage students to do and reflect
