Many things people commonly believe to be true about education are not supported by scientific evidence. Urban Myths about Learning and Education examines commonly held incorrect beliefs and then provides the truth of what research has shown. Each chapter examines a different myth, with sections on learning, the brain, technology, and educational policy. A final section discusses why these myths are so persistent. Written in an engaging style, the book separates fact from fiction regarding learning and education. Recognize any of these myths? <ul>
<li>People have different styles of learning</li>
<li>Boys are naturally better at mathematics than girls</li>
<li>We only use 10% of our brains</li>
<li>The left half of the brain is analytical, the right half is creative</li>
<li>Men have a different kind of brain from women</li>
<li>We can learn while we are asleep</li>
<li>Babies become smarter if they listen to classical music</li>
</ul>
These myths and more are systematically debunked, with useful correct information about the topic in question.

Ten Steps to Complex Learning: A Systematic Approach to Four-Component Instructional Design

Ten Steps to Complex Learning presents a path from a training problem to a training solution in a way that students, practitioners (both instructional designers and teachers), and researchers can understand and easily use. Practitioners can use this book as a reference guide to support their design of courses, materials, or environments for complex learning. Students in the field of instructional design can use this book to broaden their knowledge of the design of training programs for complex learning.  Now fully revised to incorporate the most current research in the field, this second edition of Ten Steps to Complex Learning includes user-friendly examples and case studies, and demonstrates the application of the ten steps in relation to the design of serious games, learning networks, social media, and new developments in educational neuroscience.
