The Student Cognition Toolbox (SCT) is a short course companion (or “sidecar”) introducing and providing direct practice in study strategies that are informed by learning science research. In this version of the SCT, material from introductory biology is used to illustrate the application of the study strategies. This version draws from material in CMU OLI’s Introduction to Biology course.
Life Sciences for independent learners.
