Abstract: How do we learn effectively? How do we teach effectively? Memory research provides valuable insights into what learning strategies are effective when students engage in self-study and what teaching strategies induce optimal learning processes in students. However, research also shows that students and teachers are often unaware of the (in)effectiveness of the strategies they use. The match between how we study and teach on the one hand, and our cognitive architecture on the other hand is a key factor that determines the quality of learning. In this talk, Gino will substantiate and exemplify this statement and discuss the implications for the design of online and blended learning. Bio:The Open University of The Netherlands Gino Camp is professor by special appointment of Effective Learning at the Faculty of Educational Sciences, Open University of the Netherlands. He received his PhD in 2006 on memory research and has since then focused on research that assesses the effectiveness of particular learning and teaching strategies in education. In 2010 he received the Education Award of the Erasmus University Rotterdam and in 2017 he received a Comenius Teaching Fellowship on learning supported by ICT. He has developed training programs and digital tools to support students’ learning and he is committed to translating knowledge from lab research into practical applications and does this in face-to-face education, online, and blended learning environments.
