The author, who teaches a neuroscience of learning course online, shows teachers from the kindergarten to university level how to make decisions about teaching online, in relation to identifying, choosing, and compiling digital resources, as well as understanding the best evaluation methods, selecting communication options, and knowing the pedagogical approaches that are supported by the learning sciences. She provides examples of how teachers applied this information in real life during the COVID-19 pandemic, and she explains how the teaching-learning dynamic is changed by research from mind, brain, and education sciences and the implications for online courses. She outlines 40 interventions based on neuroscience in online contexts that apply to all teachers; how to design online environments; how to rethink time and space, including the academic calendar, synchronous and asynchronous learning, communication, assessment, and evaluation; how to plan new technologies; and how teaching online is equal to and sometimes better than traditional in-person classes.

This practical resource draws on the best of neuroscience to inform decisionmaking about digital learning. We live in unprecedented times that have pushed schools to make many decisions that have been postponed for years. For the first time since the inception of public education, teachers have been invited to redesign the learning landscape by integrating an intelligent selection of digital educational resources and changing pedagogical approaches based on information from the learning sciences. This handbook will help teachers make the most of this opportunity by showing them how to use digital tools to differentiate learning, employ alternative options to standardized testing, personalize learning, prioritize social-emotional skills, and inspire students to think more critically. The author identifies gems in quality teaching that coincide with how the brain learns best and are amplified in online contexts, including 40 evidenced-informed pedagogies. This book will help all educators move online teaching and learning to new levels of confidence and success.
