a. communicating to the students that learning is active because knowledge is dynamic and always changing.
b. teaching the students how and when to use particular study strategies.
c. reducing the cognitive load involved in classroom tasks so that students can complete them within the allotted time.
d. helping students to identify important information and take clear, meaningful notes.
