OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
How to learn effectively – Neuro-scientific strategies for academic success
Did you know that taking more breaks can sometimes help you learn quicker? Or that you can increase your retention from reading by 30% by doing a few simple things? In this session, you will learn some of the most important findings for effective learning, stemming from educational psychology and neuroscience, and how you can apply these insights your studying at Oxford.
Olav Schewe is the author of two international best-selling books on effective learning, Super Student and Learn Like a Pro (written together with NY Times bestselling author Dr. Barbara Oakley). Currently a DPhil Candidate at Oxford’s Department of Education and a member of the Next Level Lab at Harvard University, Olav focuses on how individuals can use strategies to improve their learning and performance.
