SUMMARY:Distracted: Using the Science of Learning to Cultivate Student Attention
DESCRIPTION:<h2>Research-Informed Teaching &amp; Learning Affinity Group</h2><h3>Distracted: Using the Science of Learning to Cultivate Student Attention</h3><p><strong>Friday, May 7, 2021: 11:00am – 12:00pm</strong><br><a href="https://canvas.harvard.edu/courses/88212"><strong>Access resources from all events on the Canvas instance</strong></a><strong> (HarvardKey Required)</strong></p><p>It often seems that the current generation of students is more distracted than ever, especially given the proliferation of technology at our fingertips. In the face of ever-present distractions, how can we cultivate students’ attention in order to foster deep learning? In this first meeting of the Research-Informed Teaching and Learning (RITL) Affinity Group, we will share research-based insights from James Lang’s new book <em>Distracted: Why Students Can’t Focus and What You Can Do About It</em> (2020) and collectively brainstorm applications to our own work as educators. (No need to read the book beforehand!) We will also make time to discuss future directions for this affinity group.</p><p>For updates on future events and resources, <a href="https://web.calists.harvard.edu/mailman/listinfo/hilt-tlc_ritl">sign up for the RITL listserv here</a>.</p>
