Learning Theory Resources

Learning theory is a subject that can be easily overlooked. The information that is presented in various research studies, as well as publications on the subject, have been showing me that it is necessary to have a well rounded understandingnof the various theories. I have some fantastic resources on learning theory that I wanted to share to help further the debate and understanding around learning theory.

Theory Into Practice (TIP) database  is a great tool "intended to make learning and instructional theory more accessible to educators. The database contains brief summaries of 50 major theories of learning and instruction. These theories can also be accessed by learning domains and concepts".
