Learning Should Be Easy: Fact or Fiction?

Have you ever wondered why learning seems to challenge some students more than others? Have you looked for ways to make it easier and questioned the motivation of some students?

This course looks into these questions and provides learning science-backed strategies that we educators can provide to support the almost always effortful, and oftentimes difficult, learning process! It is part of a series from ​​ISTE's learning sciences initiative, Course of Mind, that debunks common myths about learning.
