EEP, EDwhy, and Seeds
By Michael Feldstein. So the news broke today about the Empirical Educator Project's (EEP's) year two experimental design, which we're calling EDwhy.

I’m Giving a Live-streamed Talk on Thursday at SUNY
By Michael Feldstein. I'll be giving a talk at the OpenSUNY conference tomorrow (Thursday) at 4:00 PM. The title of the talk is "Everything Old is New Again: What You Taught the OPM Companies."

University – the best times of our lives?
When my generation reflects on our university days, we tend to think they were the best years of our lives. These days, with the media focus on poor student mental health, young people could be forgiven for wondering why. More...
