Break down subject content when introducing new topics and pause regularly to check understanding.

Present instructions clearly without using too many sources of information at the same time.

Be wary of reducing cognitive load too much – the learning process should be manageable, but not overly fragmented.

"Get above a C in philosophy and psychology by revising more"

That may sound like a good idea, but its not true growth mindset, and its certainly not SMART.

I know the student, and he got an A in his mock - I asked him to focus on what he did differently to last time (where he got an E) rather than bask in the glory of his grade...

"How did I do that?" rather than "I'm gonna smash this!"

"I hated my teachers at school because if they didn't know something they'd get angry and tell me off!"
"Or they'd make something up, but you knew it wasn't true!"
"At least here they admit it, and you can then find out together."

• Students creating videos (flip the teacher!) 
• Screencasting (or similar) – the teacher videoing an approach to something/modelling
• Making an interactive video
• Apps – so students can have easy access to the flipped content it on their phone
