I would also be interested in learning if people have used those videos. They are nicely done. I would guess that many of us have indeed lectured on these topics, conducted Seminars for new students covering these issues, and even developed class activities and demonstrations. I have, and still do. In addition I put together a study booklet highlighting such issues. The material in the videos is well presented, but the motivation to actually implement new study strategies and learn how to learn is still a challenge. It takes a lot of effort and insight to overcome poor habits that have been reinforced in less challenging courses. Each class session, as implied by Professor Chew, needs to be an orientation to deeper learning. In the end however, taking advantage of such opportunities requires some personal responsibility.
