They are Studying. So Why Aren't They Passing

Presenter: Alison Driscoll
Your students are putting in the hours. So why aren't they passing? In a conference full of conversations about AI and new tools, this session asks a different question: do your students actually know how to learn? Research shows the strategies students trust most — rereading, highlighting, reviewing —produce familiarity, not memory. And no app can close that gap if students don't know how to use their study time effectively. This session gives you a simple filter for evaluating every tool in your toolkit, six evidence-based habits to build study-ready students, and a new lens for choosing technology that actually moves the needle. Practical, grounded in learning science, and immediately applicable.
