Learning to Learn
Our teaching should be informed by what we know about how humans learn. We have a wealth of resources from expertise at and beyond OU to apply practical strategies to class sessions, activities, and assessments based on how students learn.
Learning to Learn Handbook
Developed by CETL, this practical handbook provides strategies for faculty and students to get the most our courses, projects, and study sessions. Includes teaching tips, note-taking templates, and more.

These teaching tips are based on OU professor Dr. Barbara Oakley’s Learning How to Learn MOOC.
