Teaching and Learning Research In Action

With a multitude of teaching methods and techniques to choose from, identifying the one that would be most effective in a particular learning environment (e.g., face-to-face, blended, fully online) is difficult. Instructors (e.g., educators, facilitators, and trainers) don’t always have the time and resources to research which instructional practices would be most effective in their teaching/training context. On the flip side, learners don’t always know what study methods are most effective for their own learning. This is where our organization, Teaching and Learning Research (TLR) In Action, comes in to both conduct research on effective instructional and learning practices and to help unpack the results of this research to make it more accessible to the public.

We are an incorporated not-for-profit organization, and our mission is to support and promote effective, evidence-based pedagogical practices. To this aim, we investigate effective instructional and learning practices and we disseminate our findings through academic and popular public platforms. We believe that education should be universally accessible and inclusive, and that pedagogical practices should be founded on evidence.
