This is something I’m interested in. What did the course cover — things like active and passive learning, and constructionism? Does the book Ultralearning cover

  The course is CMU’s 38-801 (evidence based teaching in STEM). I don’t think there is a course website, but CMU’s course design page has a pretty good overview of the material covered [0]. It was a cool project-based course that covered a lot of different teaching methods (including active learning), assessment and feedback, and course design. A lot of this was motivated by primary teaching and learning literature. We also read through this book [1], which I found pretty interesting. The learning principles in the summary you linked are also major themes we covered in the course, but I think the emphasis is a bit different because the 38-801 audience is primarily future educators (who are of course also lifelong learners) 0: https://www.cmu.edu/teaching/designteach/index.html https://www.cmu.edu/teaching/designteach/index.html 1: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3557656/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3557656/
