The 5th annual McMaster Symposium on Education & Cognition (EdCog 2017) takes place July 27-28 at McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. This meeting brings together educators, cognitive scientists, and policy makers to explore how cognitive science can be applied to educational policy and instructional design.
Over the last four years, we have had the privilege of hosting an outstanding lineup of speakers. This tradition continues with our confirmed speakers for this year: Barb Oakley (Oakland), Terry Sejnowski (Salk), Rob Goldstone (Indiana), Andrew Butler (UTexas), Yana Weinstein (Michigan). The Day 1 evidence-based workshops include programs on 1. Concept Mapping, 2.Note Taking, and 3. Using Social Media in Teaching.
