主题演讲博士. 芭芭拉·奥克利

We are pleased to announce that the renowned Dr. 芭芭拉·奥克利 will deliver a virtual keynote presentation, "Practical Insights from Neuroscience — and Movie-Making! — to Improve Your Teaching".

Professor of Engineering 芭芭拉·奥克利 is the instructor of Learning How to Learn (Coursera), one of the world’s largest student massive open online course, with over three million students. 在这个演讲中, she will show you useful information about how you and those you work with can more easily master new and difficult material—and establish an even richer learning culture for those you work with.

• See what the patterns of expertise look like in the brain, and learn how to build those patterns more quickly and with less frustration.
• Learn why it’s perfectly normal to not understand something difficult the first time its encountered. You’ll see how knowledge of how the brain works can protect against feelings of frustration and failure when something seems difficult to learn.
• Discover simple tools to tackle procrastination. (You might be surprised to learn that even just thinking about something you don’t like causes your brain to experience pain.)
• Learn why small periods of mindlessness can be so valuable in learning.
• Learn the surprising advantages of having a bad memory and sometimes being a slower learner.

Dr. 奥克利眼镜’s previous book, 数字头脑，是一个 纽约时报 and international best-seller translated into over a dozen languages. Her most recent book is the critically acclaimed Uncommon Sense Teaching: Practical Insights in Brain Science to Help Students Learn.
