Dr. John Bransford, Centennial Professor of Psychology and Education and Co-Director of the Learning Technology Center at Vanderbilt University, is a scholar in human learning and its implication on instruction. He recently co-edited a report by the National Research Council, called How People Learn: Brain, Mind, Experience and School (National Academy Press 1999), which synthesis research and best instructional practice to define the How People Learn (HPL) Framework. This framework represents important principles for designing effective learning environments that promote learning with understanding. Dr. Bransford's presentation will describe how these new insights in learning and instruction have shaped the design of instruction in a range of disciplines including bioengineering. This presentation is a must for anyone interested in human learning and the design of effective instruction that prepares students for future learning.
