20. How could we simply yet effectively...
• Design lessons that had high levels of
thinking?
• Reduce cognitive overload?
• Ensure new topics are learnt with
high storage strength?
• Order topics to help the learning of
new information?
• Practically implement spacing?
• Introduce testing which is low stakes
and fun?
• Interleave previous topics in a
manageable way?
