          Abstract

          We present 10 tips for building effective lessons that are grounded in empirical research on pedagogy and cognitive psychology and that we have found to be practically useful in both classroom and free-range settings

          Author summary

          As a species, we know as much about teaching and learning as we do about public health, but most people who teach at the postsecondary level are never introduced to even the basics of evidence-based pedagogy. Knowing just a few key facts will help you build more effective lessons in less time and with less pain and will also make those lessons easier for your peers to find and reuse. This paper presents 10 tips that you can apply immediately and explains why they work.
