Integrating Retrieval Practice: Summer 2023
June 5
Free
June 5 – June 25, 2023
Short Course
Description
This course is an introduction to retrieval practice teaching methods. Retrieval practice focuses on improving long-term learning. We help students retrieve through deliberate recall of skills and knowledge, spaced out over time, and reviewed along with other concepts.
More than 100 years of educational research in both the lab and in classrooms has supported the effectiveness (and simplicity!) of retrieval practice on improving retention, higher order thinking skills, and transfer of knowledge and skill to new contexts.
We will explore both teaching and technological strategies for using retrieval practice in our course:
- Module 1 shares the Why and the What of retrieval practice.
- Module 2 focuses on the How and shares teaching methods and technology tools to support retrieval practice.
- Module 3 looks at student success with retrieval including metacognition and evaluation of teaching methods.

After completing the course, participants will be able to:
- Apply principles of retrieval practice to course design or unit development
