Episode 14: Learning in the Brain

In this episode, I talk to Tanja, back again from the first episode, and Xingyue, an international student from China. We discuss what happens to the brain when learning occurs. Our readings are: Chapter 5 of Bransford, Brown, and Cocking (2000) How People Learn, Chapter 3 of CAST (2014) Universal Design for Learning: Theory and Practice, and Shane Parrish's interview with Barbara Oakley on learning how to learn. Special thanks to Brandon Dove and Kristina Linacre for composing the intro and outro music!
