Sticky Learning - What Binge Watching Teaches us About the Goldfish
Myth (EP:08) With Julie Dirksen, M.S. As educators, you have likely
heard a lot about the limits of human attention span, maybe you
even heard that cell phones have robbed us of precious mental
faculties leaving us with less capacity than a goldfish. Truth be
told, there are a lot of ideas out there around the topic of
attention span as well as how to make learning materials effective
(aka sticky). From goldfish brains to classroom theatrics to
multi-hour media binges – what exactly is it that makes us engaged
and learning stick? In this episode, designbetterlearning founder,
instructional designer, and author of the book Design for How
People Learn Julie Dirksen chats with Stacy Craft about strategies
for creating ‘Sticky Learning’ and how that connects with our
common misconceptions around attention span. Questions? Feedback?
