Free Online Book: How People Learn

How People Learn is one of the best free online resources for instructors, and parents for that matter. Among instructors, t's not just economics faculty who will find the book useful. Any instructor, no matter his or her field of instruction, will be mesmerized by learning about how students learn.

The book is also available in a print version, which would be easier to read and thus justify the $22.45 price. The interface between the reader and the book in the online version is awkward because the book is provided in html format rather than a pdf. (A pdf version can be purchased.) That said, and even though a good bit of the book's context involves children, this is a worthwhile resource for all college faculty.
