I began a test pilot of my innovation idea in my advising role (a personally curated resource of advising tips and knowledge). Advising.Blog was born to provide unlimited 24/7 access to an advisor’s information. From March 2022 through October 2022, I actively utilized my portfolio as an advising resource. I directed students to supplemental support that helped them onboard to the institution and their online graduate program.

If you are participating in the upcoming event, I ask that you stop reading here and don’t steal my awesomely nerdy idea.

The instructor’s PPT slides are brilliant. You’ve splurged on the expensive interactive courseware. Student engagement is stellar. So… why are half of your students still forgetting everything they learned in just a matter of weeks? It's likely a matter of cognitive science! With so much material to "teach" these days, we often forget to incorporate key proven principles into our curricula — namely active recall, metacognition, spaced repetition, and interleaving practice.

“When we feel safe. When we feel that our leaders care more about us than a number. They care more about our lives and our confidence, and our joy and our skillset more than some short-term gain… we will respond in kind and we will offer our blood our sweat and our tears and we will make sacrifices of all kinds to see that our leader’s vision is advanced” (REDDOT X, 2018). “Working hard for something we don’t care about is called stress.
