Description
This year’s keynote, described below, will be given by Dr. Michelle D. Miller.
Keynote: Effective, Engaging Teaching in a Wired World: Using the Science of Memory to Promote Deep Learning
Today’s faculty tend to steer clear of memory and memorization in their classrooms, preferring to focus on higher-level thinking skills. But do these goals have to be mutually exclusive? New research suggests that teachers really can have it both ways, using research-based techniques to strengthen both what students know and their ability to use that knowledge. Many of these approaches fit particularly well with educational technologies, as well as with newly available AI tools. This interactive keynote address invites faculty to look at memory in a new light, highlighting technologies and techniques that help students build a solid base of knowledge efficiently, quickly, and with a side order of fun. Participants will have the opportunity to engage in a structured question and answer session as part of the keynote.
Dr. Michelle Miller is a cognitive psychologist, researcher, and speaker focused on supporting higher education faculty in creating effective and engaging learning experiences for students. She is the author of Minds Online: Teaching Effectively with Technology (Harvard University Press, 2014), Remembering and Forgetting in the Age of Technology: Teaching, Learning, and the Science of Memory in a Wired World (West Virginia University Press, 2022), and a new book forthcoming in Fall 2024, A Teacher’s Guide to Learning Student Names: Why You Should, Why It’s Hard, How You Can (University of Oklahoma Press). Dr. Miller is a Professor of Psychological Sciences and President’s Distinguished Teaching Fellow at Northern Arizona University.
