In a back-to-back special, we’re continuing to explore how learning works through the book “How Learning Works: 8 Research Based Principles of Smart Teaching”.

Picking up from our last episode with Dr. Marie Norman at the University of Pittsburgh, a short walk down Forbes Ave towards Carnegie Mellon, you can find the office of today’s guest, Dr. Marsha Lovett.

Starting as a professor in Carnegie Mellon’s psychology department, Dr. Lovett now serves as Vice Provost for Teaching and Learning Innovation. She manages the Eberly Center, a team of teaching consultants, learning designers, data scientists, and technologists who help instructors create meaningful and demonstrably effective educational experiences (and still, she has time to teach her psych classes).

Dr. Lovett’s psychological background was front and center in our chat with her, where we talked about the importance of motivation and engagement in learning, the power of generative learning, and how organizations can really tell if the information they’re teaching people is sticking, and working.

If you enjoyed our last podcast, this is a great follow up to dive even deeper into how learning really works, so with that…let’s bring it in!
