Dr. Saundra McGuire, a Codon advisor and expert on teaching students how to learn*, believes all students must be taught how to learn. In this video, Dr. McGuire describes how our platform teaches students the key metacognitive skills that they need to succeed in college.

““I like Codon’s focus on the learning objectives rather than memorizing facts and how it encourages students to practice metacognition and other good study skills.””
““The biggest draw of Codon is the unique Study Path that helps students develop their metacognitive skills and provides learning-objective-based structure for students.” ”
