Increase Learning by 7x! … And Accelerate Design with First Principles AI Tools! 

with Dr. Timothy Stafford and Dr. Max Cropper

Merrill's First Principles of Instruction help achieve world-class instruction. 

How effective are Merrill's First Principles? Ted Frick has provided evidence that First Principles provide 7x learning.

In addition, First Principles AI Tools make it possible to accelerate the course design process by up to 40%. 

In this session, we will demonstrate and give participants access to the free First Principles AI Evaluation Tool.
