The Theory Into Practice Database (TIP) is a tool intended to make learning and instructional theory more accessible to educators. The TIP database contains descriptions of 50 theories relevant to human learning and instruction. Each description includes the following sections : overview, scope/application, example, principles, and references. These theories can also be accessed by learning domains and concepts. A very useful resource when you're seeking to get to grips with theories of teaching or learning, and want a clear and accessible summary. Some are excluded (e.g. Dewey, Freire, Illich) as being more 'philosophical', but a site well worth using, and which can link you to other interesting areas. http://tip.psychology.org/
