- In his TEDxUNC 2015 talk, Todd Zakrajsek, one of our 2015 Faculty Speakers discusses how Universities seek to ensure students are able to handle advanced academic work by requiring requisite courses have been successfully completed during the admissions process. Yet, when talented (and vetted) future professionals arrive at the university gate, who teaches them how to be learners at the next level? Dr. Zakrajsek explores this topic in depth in his talk.
Dr. Todd Zakrajsek is an Associate Professor in the Department of Family Medicine and the Executive Director of the Academy of Educators in the School of Medicine at UNC-Chapel Hill. Prior to his work at UNC, he was the Inaugural Director of the Faculty Center for Innovative Teaching at Central Michigan University and the founding Director of the Center for Teaching and Learning at Southern Oregon University, where he also taught in the psychology department as a tenured associate professor. Dr. Zakrajsek has directed over 20 national and international conferences devoted to evidence-based teaching and learning. He also sits on several boards in a variety of areas related to higher education, including Technology Enhanced Instruction for Microsoft and the Journal of Excellence in College Teaching. He has published, and presents regularly, on the topics of human information processing, effective teaching, and student learning.

Note I got
Not just using app, thinking about apps and how you can do things
You are not just learning you are thinking about learning
We have to study details
Don’t do multitasking ( you are training your brain to not giving attention)
Listening Music while studying make you decrease your knowledge of the material.
27 minutes nap can help cognitive functions
Exercise can help your learning process
Right hydration
Try to learn about the process of learning
Foucs, Foucs, Foucs!!!
The TV/computer anecdote - people switch back and forth every 4 seconds. I have shown people YT videos I have made and watched them watching a video I ask them to watch. Even though they are trying to pay attention because I asked them to, their average attention is 5 seconds. In response, I made new videos that change the camera angle every 5 seconds and found that people watch longer with only that change.
My takeaway - your micro attention span is 5 seconds. Don’t try to undo or change this. Use it instead.
So strong and valuable talk
Insightful and practical ,thanks
This has very helped.
The brain is not a muscle, it's an organ.
What about those people with ADHD and other cognitive impairments? Surely this can become challenging even with a medication regime.
To think about learning about thinking to learn 🤔 (...analysis paralysis 😂)
