Learn techniques and strategies for improving academic learning, in both real-time and virtual settings.
These videos were produced, written, and edited by former ASC Director, 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 contribute to supporting the mission of the Academic Skills Center at Dartmouth College.
