In higher education we pride ourselves on making evidenced-informed decisions in our practice. But how well informed are we on the science of teaching and learning? This session will bust common myths about teaching and learning to ensure that the evidence-informed decisions we are making are actually informed by evidence.

Outcomes: Examine myths about learning and their lack of evidence in the literature * Explore and discuss the impact that these myths have on higher ed * Examine how to debunk these myths and replace them with what we do know about teaching and learning
