The Science of Learning in Action with Samantha Garbers and Adam Brown

How can instructors use research on teaching and learning to create change and tackle challenges in their courses? What can learning analytics tell us about student engagement and motivation in our courses? In this episode, we ask Samantha Garbers (https://www.publichealth.columbia.edu/profile/samantha-garbers-phd), Associate Professor in the Heilbrunn Department of Population and Family Health at the Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health, with guest host Adam Brown (https://provost.columbia.edu/people/adam-s-brown), Program Director of Columbia’s Science of Learning Research Initiative (https://soler.columbia.edu/) (SOLER). Professor Garber received a Provost's SOLER Seed Grant to work with Dr. Brown to explore how students are engaging (or not!) with course materials and resources.
