Evidence-based education enhancements:
- video on the scientific evidence behind better teaching through activation of the students (Dr Cynthia Heiner of the University of British Columbia discusses theories of interactive learning, link to Imperial College Learning and teaching Strategy)
- video on how to put interactive learning into practice. Dr Cynthia Heiner discusses the Carl Wieman Science Initiative. Critical factors for successful implementation and evidence of effect are shown (link to Imperial College Learning and teaching Strategy).
