Strategic Learning Videos and Books
Learn techniques and strategies for improving academic learning, in both real-time and virtual settings.
Video Acknowledgement
These videos were produced, written, and edited by Carl P. Thum, Ph.D., and Dartmouth's Media Production Services. The first videos were funded by a $10,000 Hewlett Grant in the early 1990's. The royalties generated by the national and international sales of those and subsequent videos resulted in over $150,000, which was "donated" in 2020 for Tutor Clearinghouse peer tutoring.
