If you plug in a network switch or an internet router from your local big-box store, most of the time it just works. And while enterprise-grade gear requires a bit more effort, the minimum configuration usually isn’t complex. Vendors want the device to work for you. That’s wonderful, right? Well, sort of. The downside of a network device “just working” is that it’s only minimally secured.

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.

As you all know, I have moved recently to a new location. When I think about it, there are ultimately two reasons why I moved; external and internal. I wanted a change of scenery. I was so used to where I was that I felt I was just moving along and doing what I did. I have to admit that I am loving wearing shorts in the winter months and going for walks daily with the dogs without putting on 14 layers of clothing. .
