What have we learned this week?

  • Engagement with research evidence about retrieval practice, elaboration and interleaving has helped us to consider possible changes to our practice to enable better retention of learning for pupils.
  • Jonathan Firth and Paul Howard-Jones have helped us to consider the role of memory for learning in more detail.
  • Written and video case studies from schools have demonstrated how technology might be used to support learning that sticks; maximising retrieval practice and elaboration.

We’ve created a poster to summarise the key learning on using online quizzes. You can download it at the bottom of the page.

Next week

Next week, we’ll be exploring research about effective assessment, marking and feedback practices.
After engaging with research evidence, we’ll view a range of case studies from schools about how they’re using technology to support these areas of their teaching and learning practice.
Week 4: Developing technology supported assessment and feedback
  • How can assessment and feedback approaches be made most effective?
  • How might technology support effective assessment and feedback approaches?
  • How might technology and research evidence support changes to marking workload?
