Instructional Redesign
I saw the power of learning this way, I used COGx inputs to reconstruct my entire curriculum to allow a truly flexible experience for my learners.
The Transformation
We Engineer the Journey from Learning to Mastery
Make learning easier to process
(Manage cognitive load)
We design instruction to incorporate multimedia principles to reduce unnecessary mental effort and direct learners’ attention toward what matters.
Strengthen memory
(Active Learning & Retrieval Practice)
We use retrieval, practice, and active engagement to strengthen memory and help learning stick.
Build connections between ideas
(Activate Prior knowledge)
We help learners connect new concepts to what they already know, creating deeper and more meaningful understanding.
Focus attention on what matters
(Attention & priming)
We design experiences that direct attention toward key ideas and prepare learners to recognize and engage with what matters.
Turn understanding into application
(Transfer of learning)
We create opportunities to apply knowledge to meaningful problems and unfamiliar situations, helping learners use what they know beyond the learning environment.
Support learning with expert guidance
(Feedback & coaching)
We strategically embed expert feedback, guidance, and coaching at key moments to help learners refine their thinking and translate understanding into practice.
80+% AVERAGE COMPLETION RATE
Courses using COGx’s instructional design approach, when implemented with fidelity, achieve an average completion rate of 80% or higher.
Built on Deep Expertise
Learning science is complex. We’ve spent years making it actionable.
Built with Global Experts
Our approach has been shaped through collaboration with experts across learning science, education, and instructional practice.
Our Seamless Process
From your existing curriculum to an evidence-based learning experience.
01
Understand
We work with your team to understand your curriculum, learners, learning goals, and current instructional experience, identifying where the greatest opportunities for improvement lie.
02
Redesign
We analyze the curriculum and redesign the learning experience around evidence-based principles, with a focus on mastery, transfer, active learning, practice, feedback, and application.
03
Implement & measure
We work with your team to implement the redesigned experience and establish the right measures to understand how learners are engaging, learning, progressing, and performing.
04
Test, refine & improve
We use learner data and feedback to identify what is working, what isn’t, and where the experience can be improved creating a continuous cycle of testing, learning, and refinement.
COGx Program Leaders
Program Leaders are assigned to support your learning journey. They monitor the Program and respond to your questions. You can also contact your Program Leader using the Inbox section in the left-most navigation menu.
Priming Activities
Priming quizzes and open-ended interrogatories are used to get learners to think about the subject matter they are about to learn.
Retrieval Practice
To foster durable, flexible, and enduring learning, we apply retrieval strategies throughout the program, including elaboration, spacing, self-testing, and interleaving.
Video Micro-Lessons
Introductory video lessons are delivered by Program Leaders, while topics within each module are delivered by subject matter experts.
Classroom Application Guides
Takeaway posters are provided throughout the modules to guide the effective implementation of the concepts covered.
Peer-Based Feedback & Reflection
Learners receive and provide peers with anonymized feedback on lesson plan application assignments for deeper learning.
Discussion Boards
Each module ends with a Discussion Forum, which we highly encourage you to participate in with your peers. This is a chance to share ideas, collaborate, and provide and receive valuable peer feedback.
Alumni Practitioner’s Platform
Program alumni (Science of Learning Practitioners) can join an online platform to share resources and strategies for ongoing application of concepts and guidance.
Application Hour
Coaching and collaboration sessions will be held during the program to allow participants to clarify any questions about the program content.
