As educators we have to embrace as many, proven-to-be-effective teaching strategies as possible in order to be able to respond to the multiple ways learners learn. Restricting ourselves to one tried and tested - usually decades old - strategy risks alienating many learners who are growing up in a society with immediate access to information. Educators need an understanding of latest developments in cognitive psychology and neuroscience to inform just how we learn and from there what strategies to employ to meet the learning needs of all learners in our charge.

Every instructor understands the importance of teaching "critical thinking" skills to his/her students, but unfortunately the term has been relegated to the status of platitude, ensuring the educational status quo of students merely memorizing facts solely for the purpose of achieving high marks. Hopefully programs like the one discussed in the article will reverse this disturbing trend.
